Assume your home directories are in /ifs/home and you want all of /ifs/home to be 2T.   I'm writing this up for OneFS 7.1.  # isi quota create --type directory --path /ifs/home --container true --hard-threshold 2T # isi quota create --type default-user --path /ifs/home --hard-threshold 10G  Now when any user creates a file in /ifs/home, a default quota entry of 10G will be created.  This will apply to EVERY folder/file in that volume, whether it's auto-created or not.  We have a separate Isilon volume for our home directories.  We also don't auto-create them here but manually create them.  The next thing to check is how to apply exceptions to the rule.  Let's say you want user foo to have a 20G quota instead of the default: # isi quota modify --type user --user foo --path /ifs/home --linked no # isi quota modify --type user --user foo --path /ifs/home --enforced yes # isi quota modify --type user --user foo --path /ifs/home --hard-threshold 20G
I am looking for answer on this. We are using isilon for home directory purpose. Users home directories are getting created automatically but I want to find a way to auto assign directory quota with container as yes 10gb size only on those folders which gets auto created as user home directories. Please let me know how to do this.
