Enabling and disabling quotaΒΆ

This document is intended to demonstrate how one can enable and disable quota on a Gluster volume.

Step 1:

Create a ‘.conf’ file with the following contents:

[quota]
action=enable
volname=10.70.41.236:1x2_vol

Here, ‘1x2_vol’ is the name of our volume and 10.70.41.236 is one of the hosts / nodes in the cluster.

We’ll name this file ‘enable_quota.conf’.

Step 2:

Run this using:

gdeploy -c enable_quota.conf
