Enabling and disabling quota¶
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
Step 3:
You can check whether quota has been enabled by checking volume info using:
$gluster vol info
This command can be run on any of the machines on which the volume resides.
We can see that quota has been enabled on this volume.
One may follow the following steps to disable quota on this volume.
