Unity 680 - Create Quota for FS on all users

Hi,

For the Unity 680 is there a way to create a quota on a file system that isn't at a specific to a user threshold? I am just looking to alert users when they almost reach full on the file system. I really don't care how big of a file the user copies to the file system. If the file system is 30 TB then whoever reaches up to 5% remaining capacity the user(s) will receive an alert. If I want to enforce a hard limit later on that would be great too. Is there a way to do this? I am trying to avoid creating a quota tree because wouldn't that just create a new directory under the file system?

Thanks,

    Hi,

    Thanks for your question. You can create a file system quota, but I don’t think it will alert the user that goes over. https://dell.to/3gmBjiq

    Let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.

    The article goes over Nested quota tree within a single directory. I don't believe you can create a quota tree at the root level so a sub directory will have to be created.

    try 

    1. Creating fs and creating a quota for the fs. Do not create a SMB export for the fs.

    2. Create a quota within the fs. I tend to call it root so you end up with /fs/root

    3. SMB export /fs/root as fs

    This way anyone using fs has a fs quota ? Is that what your after ?

    Hi, thank you for your response. If you create a quota within the file system you would need to remap. I was hoping to create a quota on an existing production file system without any outages
