Control over systemwide configuration should be concentrated in lctl. Like changelogs, control over quotas should be placed in lctl, while informational indications should remain in lfs.</p> <p>NAME<br/> lfs - Lustre utility to create a file with specific striping pattern, find the striping pattern of existing files</p> <p>NAME<br/> lctl - Low level Lustre filesystem configuration utility</p> LU-2299

System-wide quotas should not be enabled/disabled/set via a non-priviledged tool (lfs)

IIRC we are using a different mechanism for enabling quota on the servers with 2.4.</p> <p>Yes, we now (in 2.4) use "lctl conf_param" to enable/disable quota for whole filesystem, the "lfs quotaon/off" is deprecated. Howerver, we still use "lfs setquota" to set limit for each user/group, I think the per-id quota set/get is supposed to be done by lfs, right? Thanks.</p> <blockquote><p>per-id quota set/get is supposed to be done by lfs</p></blockquote> <p>I would still claim this needs to be an administrator only, and lfs was originally supposed to be a non-privileged user tool.</p> <p>Johann, I can't find your preso on new quotas - can you attach it to a ticket somewhere please?</p> <p>Hi Nathan,</p> <p>The quota presentations are attached to ORI-414. I also presented the new quota architecture briefly at the LUG:<br/> <a href="http://www.opensfs.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/LUG_orion_Sunday.pdf" class="external-link" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">http://www.opensfs.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/LUG_orion_Sunday.pdf</a></p> <p>As for lfs setquota vs lctl setquota, i don't really care and i would be fine to add support for setquota to lctl and deprecate lfs setquota.</p> <p>Nathan, do you guys have any plan to work on a patch adding setquota support to lctl? Please advise.</p> <blockquote><p>Nathan, do you guys have any plan to work on a patch adding setquota support to lctl?

I figured since you are reworking it anyhow now's a good time to mention it.</p> Development Rank 1|hzvbw7: Rank (Obsolete) 5492
