6.5 HP StoreAll OS User Guide

Setting quotas for users, groups, and directories
Before configuring quotas, the quota feature must be enabled on the file system and the file system
must be mounted.
NOTE: For the purpose of setting quotas, no UID or GID can exceed 2,147,483,647.
Setting user quotas to zero removes the quotas.
The Quota Management Wizard can be used to create, modify, or delete quotas for users, groups,
and directories in the selected file system. Click Quotas Wizard on the Quota Summary panel to
open the wizard. The Welcome dialog box describes the options available in the wizard.
Whether configuring quotas for users, groups, or directories, you will set the following limits:
• Soft limit (MB): The number of megabytes that, when reached, causes the node to start a
countdown timer.
• Hard limit (MB): The maximum allotted storage in terms of file size.
• Soft limit (Files): The number of files that, when reached, causes the node to start a countdown
timer.
• Hard limit (Files): The maximum allotted storage in terms of number of files.
