Usage

Synchronizing Quota Information

gfs_quota sync -f MountPoint

MountPoint

Specifies the GFS file system to which the actions apply.

Tuning the Time Between Synchronizations

gfs_tool settune MountPoint quota_quantum Seconds

MountPoint

Specifies the GFS file system to which the actions apply.

Seconds

Specifies the new time period between regular quota-file synchronizations by GFS. Smaller

values may increase contention and slow down performance.

Examples

This example synchronizes the quota information from the node it is run on to file system /gfs.

gfs_quota sync -f /gfs

This example changes the default time period between regular quota-file updates to one hour

(3600 seconds) for file system /gfs on a single node.

gfs_tool settune /gfs quota_quantum 3600

4.4. Disabling/Enabling Quota Enforcement

Enforcement of quotas can be disabled for a file system without clearing the limits set for all

users and groups. Enforcement can also be enabled. Disabling and enabling of quota enforce-

ment is done by changing a tunable parameter, quota_enforce, with the gfs_tool command. The

quota_enforce parameter must be disabled or enabled on each node where quota enforcement

should be disabled/enabled. Each time the file system is mounted, enforcement is enabled by

default. (Disabling is not persistent across unmounts.)

Usage

gfs_tool settune MountPoint quota_enforce {0|1}

MountPoint

Specifies the GFS file system to which the actions apply.
