 Description   

Hi,

At CEA they have a weird situation where a user presumably has only 8 GBs of data, whereas the quota commands report a usage of several TBs.

So we would like to know where the quota information is stored by Lustre:

  • special hidden files in the file system?
  • files on the MDT (that could be accessed by mounting the MDT as ldiskfs) ?
  • files on the OSTs?

TIA,
Sebastien.

Have you tried to run quotacheck?

Space accounting is handled by ldiskfs itself. Operational quota files on the slaves (i.e. MDT & OSTs) are available at the root under lquota_v2.user and lquota_v2.group. As for administrative quota files (i.e. stored on the MDT which is the quota master), there are under the OBJECTS directory and the file names are admin_quotafile_v2.usr & admin_quotafile_v2.grp.
