Managing GPFS quotas
The GPFS™ quota system helps you to control the allocation of files and data blocks in a file system.
GPFS quotas can be defined
for:
- Individual users
- Groups of users
- Individual filesets
Quotas are enabled by the system administrator when control over the amount of space used by the individual users, groups of users, or individual filesets is required. By default, user and group quota limits are enforced across the entire file system. Optionally, the scope of quota enforcement can be limited to an individual fileset boundaries.

Note: Windows nodes may be
included in clusters that use GPFS quotas;
however, Windows nodes do
not support the quota commands.
