Kristy, there is no equivalent to the -e option in the quota API. If your application receives negative quota values it is suggested that you use the mmlsquota command with the -e option to obtain the most recent quota usage information, or run the mmcheckquota command. Using either the -e option to mmlsquota or the mmcheckquota is an IO intensive operation so it would be wise not to run the command when the system is heavily loaded. Note that using the mmcheckquota command does provide QoS options to mitigate the impact of the operation on the cluster.

Sent by: [email protected] Hi, There is a flag with mmlsquota to prevent the potential of getting negative values back: -e Specifies that mmlsquota is to collect updated quota usage data from all nodes before displaying results. If -e is not specified, there is the potential to display negative usage values as the quota server may process a combination of up-to-date and back-level information. However, we are using the API to collectively show quotas across GPFS and non-GPFS filesystems via one user-driven command. We are getting negative values using the API. Does anyone know the -e equivalent for the API? https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/STXKQY_4.2.2/com.ibm.spectrum.scale.v4r22.doc/bl1adm_gpfs_quotactl.htm Thanks, Kristy_______________________________________________ gpfsug-discuss mailing list gpfsug-discuss at spectrumscale.org https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__gpfsug.org_mailman_listinfo_gpfsug-2Ddiscuss&d=DwICAg&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=IbxtjdkPAM2Sbon4Lbbi4w&m=hdhTNLoVRkMglSs8c9Ho37FKFZUJrCmrXG5pXqjtFbE&s=wfHn6xg9_2qzVFdBAthevvEHreS934rP1w88f3jSFcs&e=
