You can turn quotas on with "lfs quotacheck -ug /path/to/lustre/fs" (requires to be root) while the filesystem is up. However, users should not modify the filesystem during the quotacheck operation otherwise space accounting might be incorrect. > Will running this command on one client then effect all of them? Yes, quotas will be enabled globally. The lustre manual has a section dedicated to quotas: http://wiki.lustre.org/manual/LustreManual18_HTML/ConfiguringQuotas.html Cheers, Johann _______________________________________________ Lustre-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lustre.org/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss
