Lustre devel - Sep 2006 - RE: [Lustre-discuss] directory- or maybe pool-based quotas?

Are there any plans for (or is it already possible to have) quotas that 
only affect part of the filesystem rather than the whole thing (e.g., 
AFS''s volumes)?

Thanks,

Brent

Hi Brent,

This has crossed my mind from time to time.  AFS style filesets (volumes)
are in our roadmap. 

But the quota model for AFS volumes is not a user / group quota but volume
level quota.  Is that what you''d be looking for?

AFS-style would be fine.  User/group quotas on particular "pools"
would be
fine, too.

It''s just a shame to split a filesystem off of the main pool of OSTs
just
so that quotas don''t affect everything else.  It would be nicer to be
able
to have one giant filesystem...

Thanks,
