Setting pool quota

You can set pool quotas for the maximum number of bytes or the maximum number of objects per pool or for both.

Syntax

ceph osd pool set-quota POOL_NAME [max_objects OBJECT_COUNT>] [max_bytes BYTES]

Example

[ceph: root@host01 /]# ceph osd pool set-quota data max_objects 10000

To remove a quota, set its value to 0.

Note: In-flight write operations might overrun pool quotas for a short time until Ceph propagates the pool usage across the cluster. This is normal behavior. Enforcing pool quotas on in-flight write operations would impose significant performance penalties.
