Hi Guys, I am running lustre 1.8.1 and need to setup quota''s for users. I have done the following: On MDS: tunefs.lustre --param mdt.quota_type=ug /dev/mdtvg/mdtlv On OSS''s: (For all ost''s) tunefs.lustre --param ost.quota_type=ug /dev/mapper/mpath[X] ** I believe the above commands are persistent and I don''t have to do anything besides this? ** On Client: Mounted the lustre filesystem and ran: lfs quotacheck /mnt/lustre Now, I need to set a 12TB limit for all users. I believe this size is supported for quota''s in 1.8. Would this be the right thing to do: lfs setquota -u username -b 12884901888 -B 13199474688 /mnt/lustre I believe I will need to do the above for all users. Not using group quotas even though they are enabled. Also, this is a 20TB lustre volume and the quota is just to safegaurd from one user filling up the filesystem. Also, would it be okay to monitor the usage on a daily basis by running the following command with a script: lfs quota -u username -v /mnt/lustre Or would it not be recommended? I do not know how much overhead this would add and don''t want to cause other issues by running this. But, this information would be a nice to have.
