Filesets and quotas

The GPFS quota commands support the -j option for fileset block and inode allocation.

The quota limit on blocks and inodes in a fileset are independent of the limits for specific users or groups of users. See the following command in the IBM Spectrum Scale: Command and Programming Reference:
  • mmdefedquota
  • mmdefquotaon
  • mmdefquotaoff
  • mmedquota
  • mmlsquota
  • mmquotaoff
  • mmquotaon
  • mmrepquota
In addition, see the description of the --perfileset-quota parameter of the following commands:
  • mmchfs
  • mmcrfs
  • mmlsfs
Important: Quota limits are not enforced for root users (by default). To enforce the quota limits for root users in filesets, change the enforceFilesetQuotaOnRoot configuration setting value to yes. For more information, see the mmchconfig command command.
