Question: creating directory quotas

Question

Hi everybody, I`ve got a question about setting directory quotas. I want to create more than 120 directory quotas at the same time. This is the path on the Isilon /ifs/BBK3/Homes The folder 'Homes' included more than 120 home directorys. I want to create for every directory, the same quota size. Is it possible to use an 'input file', or is there a other way to realize it? Thanks a lot

prepare a script file, or type right in the shell (example for 10G size and OneFS 7 syntax);

for dir in /ifs/BBK3/Homes/*

do

isi quota quotas create "$dir" directory --hard-threshold 10G [more options]

done

I am looking for answer on this. Even we are using isilon for home directory purpose. Users home directories are getting created automatically but I want to find a way to auto assign directory quota with container as yes 10gb size only on those folders which gets auto created as user home directories. Please let me know how to do this.
