Hello, today we had a conversation with one of the users at #gluster and I mentioned a way of implementing quota without actually implementing quota :) The idea is simple, we can use the quota support of the underlying FS and replicate it to the whole cluster using a predefined dir in the glusterfs cluster. What I'm proposing is: 1. create a dir within glusterfs, for example .quota 2. every machine will export its results from repquota or at least the code behind repquota and save the output to a file which will be named after the hostname of the machine. 3. Wait 1 min after step 2 and read all files from .quota 4. Save or update all the information from step 3 in the memory 5. Use the stored into memory information to enforce quota My question is, are you interested in a translator that does this? If you are, I'm interested in writing it :) -- Best regards, Marian Marinov
