[Gluster-users] Quota translator: df now shows 0% used
Dear All, I decided to try the new volume quota feature after a non-responding server for a distributed volume caused the other server's brick to fill up completely. After reading in a previous posting that features/quota only works on the server at the moment, I added it to my existing two server vol files. I am not seeing any errors on server startup or on mounting the distributed volume on clients, but "df -hl" shows the volume as 0% full even though it is actually ~90% full. Read and write access appear to be working normally but I haven't tried filling it up to find out if the quota translator actually works. One other observation is that new files created after the quota translator was added appear to be showing up in the %used column; when I checked just now it had gone up to 1% used. I tried running "ls -lR" on a couple of the clients (of which there are several, incidentally) even though I'm not sure this self heal operation has any effect on a simple distributed volume. It didn't have any effect on the %used according to df. The volume file for one of the two bricks is shown below. I tried adding features/quota at the end as well (just before the server section) but it didn't make any difference. Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated -Dan B (new list member). # =================# Server volume file with quota translator added # volume posix1 type storage/posix option directory /local/glusterfs end-volume volume quota1 type features/quota option disk-usage-limit 2500GB subvolumes posix1 end-volume volume locks1 type features/locks subvolumes quota1 end-volume volume io-cache1 type performance/io-cache subvolumes locks1 end-volume volume brick1 type performance/io-threads subvolumes io-cache1 end-volume volume server type protocol/server option transport-type tcp option auth.addr.brick1.allow * option listen-port 6996 subvolumes brick1 end-volume
