Prev	Configuring storage	Next

You can set usage quotas for users or for groups.

Before the file system quotas take effect, you must enable the quotas for the file system.

To set the quota value

To set all quota values

To set all of the quota values, enter the following:

Storage> quota fs setall {userquota | groupquota} 
[hardlimit | softlimit] [numinodes | numspace]
[value] [fs_name]

For example, to set all existing user quotas to default values for the file system fs1:

Storage> quota fs show fs1

Storage> quota fs setall userquota

To display the file system settings

fs_name	File system name you want to set the quota for.
userquota	User quota can be set with hard or soft limits on usage. Usage is dictated by the number of blocks and number of inodes that are created by the user.
groupquota	Group quota can be set with hard or soft limits on usage. Usage is dictated by the number of blocks and number of inodes that are created by all the users in the group.
user_or_group_names	Name of the user or the name of the group for which a quota value is set. You can specify a comma-separated list of user or group names. To delete quota values for a user, you have to set all the user quota entries to 0. A user with a UID of 0 is not allowed in a Storage> quota fs set command.

To set the default quota values

To set the default quota values, enter the following:

Storage> quota fs setdefault {userquota | groupquota} 
{hardlimit | softlimit} {numinodes | numspace} [value] [fs_name]

To display the default values
