Hi Leonardo, Currently we don't have any method to import any back-end FS's quotas into gluster.

By the way using ext4 back-end and creating gluster volumes on existing data node is not ***recommended**. * > - I don't think edquota will work anymore? Gluster quota doesn't impair back-end FS quota behaviour, but gluster knows nothing about that, so you can't have a volume wide quota implementation. > - If I mount a gluster filesystem with type=glusterfs, will > /usr/bin/quota be able to read quotas from it? No, only way to manage gluster quota is from glusterd (gluster management daemon) commands. > - If not, can I otherwise read my quotas from the client? > > - If I mount a gluster filesystem using NFS, can the client read > quotas with /usr/bin/quota as usual?
