[PATCH] doc: ceph: update userspace command to get CephFS metadata

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

 



According to ceph documentation "getfattr -d /some/dir" no longer displays
the list of all extended attributes. Both CephFS kernel and FUSE clients
hide this information.

To retrieve the information you have to specify the particular attribute
name e.g. "getfattr -n ceph.dir.rbytes /some/dir"

 Finally, Ceph also allows quotas to be set on any directory in the system.
 The quota can restrict the number of bytes or the number of files stored
