Hard limit Quota not working

minor22 — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 22:38:07 GMT

I created a 15TB vol and I have 2 NFS shares which I set a 3TB hard limit. Security style is mixed, Permissions are set to everyone and BuiltIn\Users to full control. When I mount the volume in either Windows or Unix the volume shows the full capcity and not the 3TB hard limit.

I ran the following commands:

quota status - quotas are on for the volume

quota report - which didn't report anything for the volume that I applied the quota

quota report <path> - which returned (no quota for the file <path>)

I haven't tried turning the quota off and back on. I'm not sure if that will fix the problem but I wanted to see if anyone had suggestions.

Thanks

FYI, aside from the quota, you should not use mixed as it's a PITA.

Paste your quota file

Try using quota modify -vserver <vserver name> -volume <volumename> -state resize

The '-state resize' option lets the addition of a quota rule (or changes in existing rules) take effect on a volume
