Hi!

I have a customer on a vfiler on my system.

I have provisioned a share from Provision Manager on 1TB.

They now want to create a quota limit on folders that resides on that share.

For example I have created this share:

Controller1:/vol/vfiler/share$

Customer then adds a couple of folders to that share and creates a share in thier AD on one folder.

Controller1:/vol/vfiler/share$/All_users/group1$/subfolder

and

Controller1:/vol/vfiler/share$/All_users/group2$/subfolder

How to make quota on the subfolders that is created on share group1$ and group2$, is it even possible.

Could I do it from Windows File Server Resource Manager or any other way?

Hey

As I know you cannot set quotas on shares, this is only possible on volumes or qtrees.

To add a default quota for all users on a volume called userhomes:

* user@/vol/userhomes 102400K - - 81920K -

To add a quota to the user adam:

adam user@/vol/userhomes 307200K - - 286720K -

Check also the "MultiStore Management Guide" for vFilers (sorry I actually don't have the link)

Regards.

Sal
