Quotas for IBM Spectrum® Scale clusters

View the information that is shown about quotas in file storage systems.

Quotas are used to restrict the number of files that are created on a file system and the amount of file system space that is used. A quota specifies the amount of disk space and the number of inodes that are assigned to a specified user, group of users, or fileset.

Capacity (%)
Illustrates used capacity and soft limits and hard limits.
The percentage of the disk space quota that is already used by the user, group of users, or fileset.
Type
The type of quota on the IBM Storage Scale cluster such as user, group, or fileset quota. For group quotas, the capacity and inode usage values for all of the users of the operating system group are calculated. For fileset quotas, the capacity and inode usage values for the users who use the fileset are calculated.
Used Inodes (%)
The percentage of the inode quota that is already used by the user, group of users, or fileset.
The capacity of the quota is represented by a bar, and the Inodes Soft Limit and Inodes Hard Limit values are shown as lines on the bar. If the Used Inodes value is less than the soft limit, the percentage of the quota that is used is shown in blue on the capacity bar. If the Used Inodes value exceeds the soft limit, the percentage that is used is shown in yellow. If the Used Inodes value reaches or exceeds the hard limit, the percentage that is used is shown in red.
