Checking User Quotas

NFS File Systems mounted from Blizzard

Note: You must run these commands on blizzard

GPFS File Systems

Note: You may run these commands from any server

Setting Quotas

The quick and easy way to set the default quotas for a new user is to use the user jam as a template:

/fs/home

• Login to blizzard
• Run "sudo edquota username -p jam"

/ptmp

• Login to gale, breeze, or a storm
• Run "sudo edquota username -p jam"

/fs/home

The /fs/home quota can only be edited from blizzard.

• Login to Blizzard
• Run "sudo edquota username"
• A vi session will open that looks like:

  Disk quotas for user jam (uid 1400):
    Filesystem                   blocks       soft       hard     inodes     soft     hard
    /dev/cciss/c0d0p9                 4          0     500000          1        0        0
  

• The default quota for user home directories is 500MB, set the number of blocks to 500000.
• Save and exit

/ptmp

The /ptmp quotas can be edited from any system that mounts /ptmp over CXFS (not blizzard).

• Login to gale (for example)
• Run "sudo edquota username"
• A vi session will open that looks like:

  Disk quotas for user jam (uid 1400):
    Filesystem                   blocks       soft       hard     inodes     soft     hard
    /dev/cxvm/ptmp              6128136          0  150000000          4        0        0
  

• The default quota for ptmp is 150GB, set the number of blocks to 150000000
• Save and exit

Viewing Quotas

• Run "sudo quota username" for a specific user on any system (I don't know why this works everywhere but repquota doesn't)

• Run "sudo repquota -v /fs/home" on blizzard only to show /fs/home usage for all users

• Run "sudo repquota -v /ptmp" on a CXFS client to show /ptmp usage for all users
