Personally, I'd expect the fs size to remain static one way or another (i.e., whether it's the full fs or a sub-fs via project quota) and see the user/avail numbers change based on the current state rather than see the size float around due to just wanting to make the numbers add up. The latter makes it difficult to understand the (virtual) geometry of the project. > The slightly strange result is that "size" will shrink > as more filesystem space gets used, but I'm not > sure I have a better suggestion here... would the below > result be too confusing?

The above at least tells us that something is missing, even if it's not totally obvious that the missing space is unavailable due to the broader fs free space limitation. It's probably the type of thing you'd expect to see if space reporting were truly accurate on a thin volume, for example. FWIW, the other option is just to leave the output as above where we presumably ignore the global free space cap and present 9.5GB available. I think it's fine to fix/limit that, but I'd prefer an inaccurate available number to an inaccurate/variable fs size either way. With regard to a soft limit, it looks like we currently size the fs at the soft limit and simply call it 100% used if the limit is exceeded. That seems reasonable to me if only a soft limit is set, but I suppose that could hide some info if both hard/soft limits are set. Perhaps we should use the max of the soft/hard limit if both are set (or I guess prioritize a hard limit iff it's larger than the soft, to avoid insanity)? I suppose one could also argue that some admins might want to size an fs with the soft limit, give users a bit of landing room, then set a hard cap to protect the broader fs. :/ Brian > -Eric > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-xfs" in > the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-xfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
