Hi Artur, we did write a script (in fact a series of scripts) that we use to manage our users and their quotas. Our script adds a new user to our LDAP and sets the default quotas for various storage areas. Quota information is kept in the LDAP. Another script periodically scans the LDAP for changes and creates directories and adjusts quotas accordingly. I have a more detailed description of how we use cephfs to provide home directories on my blog here: https://blogs.ed.ac.uk/mhagdorn/2020/08/04/school-of-geosciences-file-storage/ Hope this helps. magnus On Tue, 2021-11-02 at 13:31 +0200, Artur Kerge wrote: > This email was sent to you by someone outside the University. > You should only click on links or attachments if you are certain that > the email is genuine and the content is safe. > > Hello! > > As I understand CephFS user max file and byte quotas > (ceph.quota.max_{files,bytes}) can be set on an MDS (or CephFS > client) via > setfattr command (https://docs.ceph.com/en/octopus/cephfs/quota/). > > My question is, how can the quotas be set automatically for every new > user's home directory? > > Currently the setup of adding a user and setting limits is following: > new > user is added on LDAP, home folder is created with skel on CephFS > (mounted > via kernel driver) and then the ceph.quota's are set.
