Fileset quotas

When creating a fileset, you can specify a maximum size for the fileset, called a quota limit, and specify whether SAN File System should generate an alert if the size of the fileset reaches or exceeds a specified percentage of the maximum size, called a threshold. For example, if the quota on the fileset is set to 100 GB, and the threshold is 80%, an alert is generated when the fileset contains 80 GB of data. (Note that the quota is based on space allocated to the fileset, not the data is contains.)

The action taken when the fileset reaches its quota size depends on whether the quota is defined as hard or soft. If you use a hard quota, once the threshold is reached, SAN File System denies new client requests to add more space to the fileset (by creating or extending files). If you use a soft quota, which is the default, SAN File System allocates more space but continues to send alerts. Once the amount of physical storage available to global fileset is exceeded, no more space can be used. You can set the quota limit, threshold and quota type individually for each fileset.
