3.5.1 Matrix Server Administration Guide

Chapter 9: Manage Filesystem Quotas 178

The following example enables quotas on volume psv1 and sets the

default user and group quotas to 20 gigabytes.

/opt/polyserve/sbin/psfsquota --enable-quotas --set-udq 20G

--set-gdq 20G psv1

For more information about these utilities and the mx quota command,

see the PolyServe Command Reference.

Mount Filesystems with Quotas

When you use the Linux mount command to mount a PSFS filesystem

with quotas, you will need to include the following options to enable the

user and/or group quota functionality of the Linux quota commands:

• For user quotas, specify either -o usrquota or -o quota.

• For group quotas, specify -o grpquota.

No special mount options are needed when you use either the

Management Console or the Matrix Server mx fs mount command.

Manage Quotas

Quota Editor

The Management Console includes a quota editor that you can use to

view quota information and to set or change the hard and soft limits for

specific users or groups on a filesystem. You can start the editor from the

Quotas tab on the Filesystem Properties window (right-click on a

filesystem, select Properties, and then click on Manage Quotas) or by

selecting Storage > Manage Quotas at the top of Management Console.

NOTE: You can use the Window menu at the top of the screen to move

between the Quotas and Management Console windows.

The following example shows quota information for users of the psv2

filesystem having names that begin with the letter “b.”
