Quotas To start the filesystem check, select the level and click Check Filesystem. The progress of the filesystem check will be displayed while it runs. You can view a log of the filesystem check by clicking View Log. Quotas Quotas are configured in the Storage > Quotas screen of the Administration Tool. Assigning quotas ensures that no one user or group consumes a disproportionate amount of volume capacity. Quotas also keep tabs on how much space each user (or NIS group) is currently consuming on the volume, allowing for precise tracking of usage patterns. You can set individual quotas for any local, Windows domain, or NIS user known to the SnapServer. Group quotas are available only for NIS groups. Default Quota Assignments For users and groups, there are no pre-assigned default quotas on the SnapServer. When quotas are enabled on the SnapServer, you can assign a default quota for all users, or allow all users to have unlimited space on the volume. Unless you assign individual user or group quotas, all users and groups will receive the default quota. How the SnapServer Calculates Usage In calculating usage, the SnapServer looks at all the files on the server that are owned by a particular user and adds up the file sizes. Every file is owned by the user who created the file and by the primary group to which the user belongs. When a file is copied to the server, its size is applied against both the applicable user and group quota (NIS groups only). Setting User Quotas You can set individual quotas on a per-volume basis for any local user, Windows domain user, or NIS user or group known to the SnapServer. Note Specific individual user quotas always override the default quota. 60 SnapServer Administrator Guide
