Introduction

This document is based on and tested with Lustre 2.15 and LDISKFS. If your Lustre version is older or you are using ZFS, the content may not be applicable.

Space accounting and project ID tracking are enabled by default on a LDISKFS file system. However, quota restrictions are NOT enabled by default. User, Group and Project quota restrictions must be manually enabled on all targets, as well as configuring data/block and/or metadata/inode limits.

Status Verification

To verify the status of space accounting and quota, run the following on every Lustre node that serves an MDT or OST and has the target mounted 

lctl get_param osd-*.fsname-*.quota_slave_*.info | sed "/^osd/c\----------------------------------------"

Closely inspect the values for quota enabled: and space acct:. The values can be none or any combination of the letters u, g and p, representing user, group and project. The default value for quota enabled: is none and the default value for space acct: is ugp
