Re: [bitfolk] XFS project quotas (was Re: Additional monitoring for backups)

Hi, I'm not sure. I always have to read the manual page for xfs_quota when I use it. I only have projects that have a single directory but it looks like you can assign directories to projects and then apply quotas to the projects rather than the directories. When I use 'quot -ap' to summaries all project usage it tells me the usage of each project on each mount point. So I'd expect that if you listed multiple entries in /etc/projects like so ----- 11:/srv/backups/hourly.0/1.2.3.4/ 11:/srv/backups/hourly.1/1.2.3.4/ 12:/srv/backups/hourly.0/5.6.7.8/ 12:/srv/backups/hourly.1/5.6.7.8/ ----- with mappings in /etc/projid like so: ----- user1:11 user2:12 ----- ...then you might have some success. A cursory test suggests that 'project user2' seems to think about doing the right thing. Remember to invoke xfs_quota with the -x flag: if you forget then it doesn't end up being a very useful command. Regards, @ndy -- andyjpb(a)ashurst.eu.org http://www.ashurst.eu.org/ 0x7EBA75FF
