5.6 HP StorageWorks X9000 File Serving Software User Guide (TA768-96035, June 2011)

specifies a user or group name, or a directory tree that has already been assigned an identifier
name. The “C” format specifies a directory tree, where the path exists, but the identifier name for
the directory tree will not be created until the quotas are imported.

"{name}","{path}"
The fields in each line are:
{type}
Either 0 for a user quota; 1 for a group quota; 2 for a directory tree quota.
{block_hardlimit}
The maximum number of 1K blocks allowed for the user, group, or directory tree. (1 MB =
1024 blocks).
{block_soft-limit}
The number of 1K blocks that, when reached, starts the countdown timer.
{inode_hardlimit}
The maximum number of files allowed for the user, group, or directory tree.
{inode_softlimit}
The number of files that, when reached, starts the countdown timer.
{id}
The UID for a user quota or the GID for a group quota.
{name}
A user name, group name, or directory tree identifier.
{path}
The full path to the directory tree. The path must already exist.
Using online quota check
You will need to rescan the quota usage for a user, group, or directory tree in the following cases:
• You turned quotas off for a user, the user continued to store data in a file system, and you
now want to turn quotas back on for this user.
• You are setting up quotas for the first time for a user who has previously stored data in a file
system.
• You are using directory tree quotas and you have moved a subdirectory into another parent
directory outside of the directory that has the directory tree quota.
The ibrix_online_quotacheck command is used to rescan quota usage. The command must
be run from a file serving node that has the file system mounted.
To run a quota check on a file system, use the following command:
ibrix_online_quotacheck —M {quotamonitor_host} /mountpoint
For the –M option, it is best to specify the management console as the target host/IP address. This
allows the quota usage for a deleted user or group to be updated. You can specify pathnames in
place of /mountpoint if you want to target specific directories instead of an entire file system.
To use the –M option for a directory tree quota, include the -P option in the command:
ibrix_online_quotacheck —M {quotamonitor_host} –P /mountpoint
To run a quota check on a specific user having files only in the home directory, use the following
command:
ibrix_online_quotacheck –u —T userid home_dir
To run a quota check on a specific group, use the following command:
