Lustre discuss - Sep 2006 - Changing quota on active file systems.

Hi.

In the manual section 7.1.2 it says:

"So set the block soft limit and the inode soft limit as 0. It is strongly 
recommended to run setquota on a non-busy Lustre file system. Otherwise a 
wrong block hard limit value may get set."

In my experience it will indeed be neccessary to change the quota on active 
filesystems as some users have special needs that change over time, how 
should one do this in a safe way without stopping all processing on our 
cluster?

Regards,
r.
