Manage user quotas for file systems and quota trees

A user quota limits the amount of storage consumed by an individual user storing data on a file system or quota tree.

The following table lists the attributes for user quotas:

Table 1. Attributes for user quotas
Attribute Description
File system Identifier for the file system that the quota will act upon. The file system cannot be read-only or a replication destination.
Path Quota tree path relative to the root of the file system. If the user quota is on a file system, either do not use this qualifier, or set its value to /.
User ID User identifier on the file system.
Unix name Comma-separated list of Unix user names associated with the user quota. Multiple Unix names may appear when the file system is a multiple protocol file system and multiple Unix names map to one Windows name in the user mapping configuration file (nxtmap).
Windows SIDs Comma-separated list of Windows SIDs associated with the user quota.
NOTE: The number of displayed SIDs is limited to 16. If the number of SIDs is over 16, only first 16 are displayed.
Windows name Comma-separated list of Windows user names associated with the user quota. Multiple Windows names may appear when the file system is a multiple protocol file system and multiple Windows names map to one Unix name in the user mapping configuration file (nxtmap).
NOTE:If the number of Windows names is over 16, only the first 16 Windows names are displayed.
Space used Spaced used on the file system or quota tree by the specified user.
Soft limit Preferred limit on storage usage. The system issues a warning when the soft limit is reached.
Hard limit Absolute limit on storage usage. If the hard limit is reached for a user quota on a file system or quota tree, the user will not be able to write data to the file system or tree until more space becomes available.
Grace period left Time period for which the system counts down days once the soft limit is met. If the user's grace period expires, users cannot write to the file system or quota tree until more space becomes available, even if the hard limit has not been reached.
State State of the user quota. Valid values are:
  • OK
  • Soft limit exceeded
  • Soft limit exceeded and grace period expired
  • Hard limit exceeded
