6.5 HP StoreAll OS User Guide

NOTE: When a quotas file is imported, the quotas are stored in a different, internal format.
When a quotas file is exported, it contains lines using the internal format. However, when adding
entries, you must use the A, B, or C format.
The following is an example of the syntax for a file to import a directory tree quota (2048=2 MB):
C,2,2048,1024,0,0,"ba","/fs1/a/aa"
C,2,2048,1024,0,0,"bb","/fs1/a/ab"
C,2,2048,1024,0,0,"bc","/fs1/a/ac"
Using online quota check
Online quota checks are used to rescan quota usage, initialize directory tree quotas, and remove
directory tree quotas. The available modes are:
• FILESYSTEM_SCAN mode. Use this mode in the following scenarios:
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 renamed a directory on which quotas are set.
◦ You moved a subdirectory into another parent directory that is outside of the directory
having the directory tree quota.
• DTREE_CREATE mode. After setting quotas on a directory tree, use this mode to take into
account the data used under the directory tree.
• DTREE_DELETE mode. After deleting a directory tree quota, use this mode to unset quota IDs
on all files and folders in that directory.
CAUTION: When ibrix_onlinequotacheck is started in DTREE_DELETE mode, it removes
quotas for the specified directory. Be sure not to use this mode on directories that should retain
quota information.
• QUOTA_INIT mode. When enabling quotas, this mode is called internally to clear all directory
tree IDs.
To run an online quota check, select the file system and then select Online quota check from the
lower Navigator.
On the Task Summary panel, select Start to open the Start Online quota check dialog box and
select the appropriate mode.
