Hi,
first of all, many thanks to those who made user/group quotas possible. This
is a huge improvement for many users of ZFS!
While presenting on this new future at the Munich OpenSolaris User Group meeting
yesterday, a question came up that I couldn't find an answer for: Can you set
a default user/group quota?
Apparently,
zfs set userqu...@user1=5g tank/home/user1
is the only way to set user quotas and the "@user1" part seems to be mandatory,
at least according to the snv_126 version of the ZFS manpage. According to my
attempts with ZFS:
The {user|group}{used|quota}@ properties must be appended with
a user or group specifier of one of these forms:
POSIX name (eg: "matt")
POSIX id (eg: "126829")
SMB n...@domain (eg: "m...@sun")
SMB SID (eg: "S-1-234-567-89")
Imagine a system that needs to handle thousands of users. Setting quota
individually for all of these users would quickly become unwieldly, in a similar
manner to the unwieldliness that having a filesystem for each user presented.
Which was the reason to introduce user/group quotas in the first place.
IMHO, it would be useful to have something like:
zfs set userquota=5G tank/home
and that would mean that all users who don't have an individual user quota
assigned to them would see a default 5G quota.
I haven't found an RFE for this yet. Is this planned? Should I file an RFE?
Or did I overlook something?
Thanks,
Constantin
