"It is strongly recommended to run quotacheck with quotas turned off for the filesys-
tem. Otherwise, possible damage or loss to data in the quota files can result. It is
also unwise to run quotacheck on a live filesystem as actual usage may change during
the scan. To prevent this, quotacheck tries to remount the filesystem read-only
before starting the scan. After the scan is done it remounts the filesystem read-
write. You can disable this with option -m. You can also make quotacheck ignore the
failure to remount the filesystem read-only with option -M."
Accoridng to this the only consequence of parallel running of
'quotacheck' is a somewhat inaccurate accounting of quotas.

Probably this should be 'xfs_check' more than 'xfs_repair'...
