[gpfsug-discuss] File Quotas vs Inode Limits

[Bryan Banister]

Actually you will get a benefit in that you can set up a callback so that users get alerted when they got over a soft quota.

We also set up a fileset quota so that the callback will automatically notify users when they exceed their block and file quotas for their fileset as well.

Hope that helps,
-Bryan

________________________________
Hi All,

I'm in process of setting up quota for our users.  We currently have block quotas per file set, and an inode limit for each inode space. Our users have request more transparency relating to the inode limit as as it is they can't see any information.

Are there any disadvantages to implementing file quotas, and increasing the inode limits so that they will not be reached?

Michael
