I read somewhere that it does its work...slowly. I presume the "quotas" file is sparse, so couldn't quotacheck use the new SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE functionality to skip past holes rather than having to read in and skip over so many zero records from the "quotas" file?
Maybe I'm off my rocker, but if it could be done, it seems like it would be a heck of a lot faster. Given that it looks like quotacheck uses stdio, it might help if fseek(3c) could also support SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE. The code doesn't seem to me to preclude it, but I haven't thought through whether or not it would behave sanely with those. And at least as of Solaris 10, the man page didn't mention the possibility. Also, I have no idea why http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/lib/libc/port/stdio/fseek.c#66 uses the constant 1 rather than SEEK_CUR.
