only windows explorer will not show the space value
i see name, letter and an usage diagram.
mouse over shows me the correct value.
but i miss "90mb free of 120mb".
if you do not have an spontaneous idea ... we can close here
its not samba list.
thanks to all the people here.
great to find community help from real users.

many thanks ... did not found something in the archive, will search
again.
i found out, it looks like an samba issue
i set up:
data/users/user1 75M
i have 2 shares in samba
users -> path=data/users
user1 -> path=data/users/user1
if i mount //server/users/user1 -> quota is not shown
(//server/users/user1 5.5T 3.8G 5.5T 1% /mnt)
if i mount the //server/user1 -> quota is shown correctly
(//server/user1 72M 36M 36M 50% /mnt)
looks bad to me, don't see an solution.

My next question was whether you were trying to apply quotas at
multiple points between the root and the target, and it appears you
are. IIRC there were discussions about that on this list some years
ago. I'm not sure that it is supported, and I don't really see how it
could be. However I'm not an expert in this area, so perhaps someone
else can chime in.

update, burns my head down :)
first level is working fine, under

server1
server2
users

one step down, not
/mnt/pve/cephfs/shares/FOLDER/data/users
username
if i mount via ceph on the samba server
/mnt/pve/cephfs/shares/FOLDER/data/users/username
i see the correct quota size
[email protected]=//shares/FOLDER/data/users/username 72M 0 72M
0% /srv/samba/data/username
if i mount this via smb client no
//SERVER/data/users/username 5.5T 3.8G 5.4T 1% /mnt3

Hi Ronny
I use the very straightforward method of having a linux VM that
kernel-mounts the cephfs filesystem via fstab at /mnt/cephfs. I
apply an 8TB quota to one of the top-level directories
/mnt/cephfs/data2 (not the root of /mnt/cephfs as I mistakenly said
earlier!). Samba then exports /mnt/cephfs/data2/x,
/mnt/cephfs/data2/y etc just via the VM's directory tree. Each of
the exports (some with different access permissions etc specified
in samba) all correctly share the quota set on data2.
This is a low-usage cluster, especially via samba, and has always
just worked. So I've never had any reason to experiment with vfs
etc.

hi chris and thanks for answer.
do you use samba vfs ceph/ceph_new or mount cephfs on samba server
and export that?
what do you mean, "cephfs root though"
i would like to have something like that
data/users/user1 10g
data/users/user2 5g
data/users/user3 20g
data/users/user4 10g
data/share1 100g
data/share2 200g
...

I do use cephfs exported via samba. My quota is simply done at
the cephfs root though. That works fine with Win10 & Win11 hosts
- they see the correct total/used/available space. I haven't
tried multiple quotas or setting further down the tree though.

hi, hope you can help me.
i like to export an cephfs via samba an ctdb.
its all working fine via kernel cephfs client.
i set now quota to the users home dir.
quota also working fine.
but now, the problem ... on the client machine, i do not see the
quota space.
mostly, i see the complete cluster, or on windows i see nothing
about disk usage.
it would be important for us and the user, to se the remaining
space.
samba vfs ceph and ceph_new would not work ... i always got:
cephmount_mount_fs: [CEPH] mount failed: user_id='XXX'
fsname='XXX' No such file or directorymake_connection_snum:
SMB_VFS_CONNECT for service 'XXX' at 'PATH' failed: No such file
or directory
does anybody use cephfs with samba an quota?
running out of ideas, so an help is welcome.
regards,
ronny
