+1Hi
I am not sure if I got your use case correct. Disk Quota I know from Self Service but the mentioned folders must be Nutanix Files. Could you provide some more details?
Thanks!
+8Hi Rakesh,
Here you can find information about quotas in Nutanix Files: https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/kbs/details?targetId=kA00e000000LMQtCAO
Per folder is nog possible. If you want that, create separate shares for them.
Sure,
we have a Nutanix file server version Acropolis 6.10.1.9 with 3 server cluster. In this file cluster, we created an FSVM named FS1, FS2, and FS3, and applied the file server license. On this file server cluster, we created a root share named “datafile”.
In this “datafile” share, we have multiple directories and subdirectories, and I want to create a disk quota on 6 subdirectories, with different size limits.
+17Hi
Before 5.3 you have to use a concept called a connected share. This is where you create a separate share and plug it into the folder structure where you need. For your example if you have a \\datafile share with subfolder \subdir1, you’d connect a share underneath \subdir1 and then limit the size of that share. More detail is here: Files 5.3 - Connected Shares
But like I mentioned, it’s easier to use the new function with Files 5.3, where you simply create a quota against the directory, much like how you’d create a user quota. That process is here: Files 5.3 - Creating a Directory Quota
