Thanks Andreas. This is somewhat interesting in that I don't have such a man page on the systems and 'man lfs' doesn't have such a statement. But, certainly, 2^48 sec. would be sufficient! Our workaround was just to use a -t XXXw to specify a large number of weeks (largest granularity I could

[lustre-discuss] Setting infinite grace period with soft quotas

2019-04-11 Thread Harr, Cameron
We're exploring an idea where we keep soft quotas enabled so that users will be notified they're nearing their hard quotas (via in-house scripts), but users don't like that the soft quota becomes a hard block after the grace period. I can understand their rationale as well that they should be
