In general, file-based ILM has limitations that cause all sorts of issues for things like operating systems, where files might only be needed infrequently, but when they are needed, they are needed "right now" Have you looked at "zfs diff" for changed files? > Since no one is focusing on enabling default user/group quota now, the > temporarily remedy could be a script which traverse all the users/groups > in the directory tree. Tough it is not so decent. The largest market for user/group quotas is .edu. But they represent only a small market when measured by $. There are also many corner cases in this problem space. One might pine for the days of VMS and its file resource management features, those features don't scale well to company- wide LDAP and thousands of file systems. So, for now, the fastest method to solve the problem might be to script some walkers. -- richard -- ZFS Performance and Training richard.ell...@richardelling.com +1-760-896-4422
