Enabling user quota on a tree quota enabled subdirectory
Here is our user home directory structure
homevol0\home00\user1
homevol0\home00\user2
homevol0\home00\user3
etc
Here,
homevol0 is the file system with size 1 TB
home00 is the tree quota enabled sub directory with limit 200GB
user1,user2,user3 etc are user folders
All these users needs different user quota limit
Here what I did as a test :
1. Removed default user quota limit from FS (now it will work as unlimited user limit )
Now, when I am trying to setup user quota for user1 as 100MB(soft) and 200MB(hard) limit on tree quota enabled directory home00, it is allowing me to create, but limit is not working.I am able to save a 400MB file
2.Set the default user limit as 25MB(soft) and 50MB(hard)
Setup the same user1 with same quota limits (100MB(soft) and 200MB(hard)) and tried to copy same 400MB file. It is NOT allowing o copy.I have tried to copy a file below 50MB and it is ALLOWED.
that means default user quota which is setting on FS level is working, but the explicit user quotas setting on tree quota enabled directories is not working.
So, is this a system restriction or am I doing anything wrong here ?

Should work
Are you sure you are setting the user quota on the tree level and not the fs level ?

Something is getting mixed up here.
A user quota is for filesystems or the whole datamover, depending on the configuration, counted for each UID, limiting a user writing additional data in the fs or the whole dm.
A tree quota is for a tree, limiting the data stored in the tree, independent of a single user.
Setting an explicit user quota supersedes default quotas.
How did you "1. Removed default user quota limit from FS (now it will work as unlimited user limit )"?
