Now we'll go over a high level illustration of how quotas work on unity systems.

While blocks policy is recommended for UNIX or Linux environments, in terms of management, file system quotas can be configured via the unisphere, go unisphere cli or the rest API. The policy can either be set to file size which calculates usage in one kilobyte increments and takes into account logical file sizes or by blocks which calculates usage in eight kilobyte increments and only takes into account actual block usage in the back end file size policy is recommended for Windows environments.

Note that user quotas can also be set on specific quota trees as well for quotas limits, information is stored within quota records for each user quota and quarter tree as well as user quotas within quota trees for quota usage, two different quota policies are available. In the case for unity file system, quotas have been implemented to allow storage admins to set the limits on the amount of disk space.Ī particular user or specific directory can consume the two types of quotas available on unity are user quotas as well as quarter trees also known as tree quotas. The benefit of quotas is that they allow administrators to limit the amount of storage consumption for a given storage resource. The configuration needed to use quotas followed lastly by a demonstration on setting up and using file system quotas in unisphere. Hello and welcome to the E MC unity video on file system quotas for this video, we will be going through a few topics including an overview on file system quotas.
