Hi!

A collegue/customer asked me theses days why on the quota enabled filesystem a “df .” in the home dir   does not show his used and free space , representing the quotas

I have to admit I never checked this before . On an other gpfs cluster he says it does

When using mmlsquota as normal user this works

xy@lxx:~$ /usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/mmlsquota --block-size auto

Block Limits                                               |     File Limits

Filesystem Fileset    type         blocks      quota      limit in_doubt    grace |    files   quota    limit in_doubt    grace  Remarks

mulfs      home       USR          29.31G     4.785T         5T 0     none |   208821       0        0        0     none

mulfs      scratch    USR             16K          0          0 0     none |       79       0        0        0     none

My silly question is, should “df” do the same and if not what could be the reasons?


Sounds like the home directory might be a fileset and filesetdf might be set for the file system where df is reporting the home directory quota numbers for mmdf.

In general mmdf behaves like df so you get a "device free" report not a quota report.

I wrote a small utility that I call mmdiskusage that reports a users home directory quota if it exists. It also skips the in_doubt number because that confuses users. We have it called automatically when they log on, start a terminal etc.

Output looks like this

    Block Limits                      |    File Limits
Usage Quota Limit Grace | Files Quota Limit Grace 55.7G 350G 1T n/a | 37109 1000000 2000000 n/a

I could post the source if people are interested. It's about 100 lines of clean C plus comments Apache license. It was a development of the mmdfree command I wrote back in the day for Samba.
