3.1.2 Matrix Server Administration Guide

Chapter 8: Manage Filesystem Quotas 130

Remove Quotas for a User or Group

If a particular user or group no longer owns files on a filesystem, you can

remove the quotas for that user or group. Select the user (or group) on the

Quotas dialog and then click the Delete icon on the toolbar.

NOTE: The quotas cannot be removed if the user or group has blocks

allocated on the filesystem.

Export Quota Information to a File

The quota information is stored with the filesystem metadata; however,

you can save the information appearing on the Quota dialog to a CSV

(comma-separated values) file. You can then use the data in another

application such as a spreadsheet. To create the CSV file, click the Export

icon at the top of the Quotas dialog.

Manage Quotas from the Command Line

The operations available on the quota editor can also be performed from

the command line using the mx quota commands. See the PolyServe

Matrix Server Command Reference for details about these commands.

Linux Quota Commands

PolyServe has modified the following Linux quota commands to enable

them to work with the PSFS filesystem.

•edquota

•quota

•repquota

•setquota

•warnquota

These commands are provided in a separate RPM as described in the

PolyServe Matrix Server Installation Guide. When you install the RPM, the

administrator commands are placed in the /opt/polyserve/sbin directory

and the quota command is placed in the /opt/polyserve/bin directory.
