Quota confusion

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Jiri,

If a limit of 600GB is set on / then Quota translator will allow you to
store 600GB of data under / and any writes after that will not be allowed.
The same rule applies to replicate aswell, here it will consider only one of
the copies of the data for calculating the sizes.
