[gpfsug-discuss] Callbacks / softQuotaExceeded

[IBM Spectrum Scale]

Simon,

Based on my reading of the code, when a softQuotaExceeded event callback 
is invoked with %quotaType having the value "FILESET", the following 
arguments correspond with each other for filesetLimitExceeded and 
softQuotaExceeded:

- filesetLimitExceeded %inodeUsage  and softQuotaExceeded  %filesUsage
- filesetLimitExceeded %inodeQuota  and softQuotaExceeded  %filesQuota
- filesetLimitExceeded %inodeLimit  and softQuotaExceeded  %filesLimit
- filesetLimitExceeded %filesetSize and softQuotaExceeded  %blockUsage
- filesetLimitExceeded %softLimit   and softQuotaExceeded  %blockQuota
- filesetLimitExceeded %hardLimit   and softQuotaExceeded  %blockLimit

So, terms have changed to make them a little friendlier and to generalize 
them.  An inode is a file.  Limits related to inodes and to blocks are 
being reported.

We were looking at adding some callbacks to notify us when file-sets go
over their inode limit by implementing it as a soft inode quota.

In the docs:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/STXKQY_4.2.3/com.ibm.spectru

m.scale.v4r23.doc/bl1adm_mmaddcallback.htm#mmaddcallback__Table1


There is an event filesetLimitExceeded, which has parameters: %inodeUsage
%inodeQuota, however the docs say that we should instead use
softQuotaExceeded as filesetLimitExceeded "It exists only for
compatibility (and may be deleted in a future version); therefore, using
softQuotaExceeded is recommended instead"

However.

softQuotaExceeded seems to have no %inodeQuota of %inodeUsage parameters.
Is this a doc error or is there genuinely no way to get the
inodeQuota/Usage with softQuotaExceeded? The same applies to passing
%quotaEventType.


Any suggestions?

Simon
