Description
Name (required)
A unique name for the quota.
Path (required)
The path to the directory.
The quota applies to the entire directory, including all subdirectories. If a quota configured on a subdirectory is bigger than the quota on its parent directory, the more restrictive quota applies.
Hard limit (required)
Storage usage limit beyond which no writes will be allowed.
When the hard limit is reached, the HARD_EXCEEDED alarm is triggered.
The value must be a complete integer and must be specified with a unit of measurement. Do not insert a space between the value and the unit of measurements. Valid units are:
Base 10: KB, MB, GB, TB, PB, EB,
Base 2: KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB, PiB, EiB
The units are case-insensitive. For example:
4gb

Storage usage limit at which warnings of exceeding the quota are issued.
Hard limit Files/Directories
Number of directories and unique files under the path beyond which no writes will be allowed. A file with multiple hardlinks is counted only once.
Soft limit Files/Directories
Number of directories and unique files under the path at which warnings of exceeding the quota will be issued. A file with multiple hardlinks is counted only once.
Grace period
Set this value to trigger an alarm and block write operations to the directory if the storage usage continues to exceed the soft limit for a specified time period.
If the grace period is not set, the directory is only blocked if and when usage reaches the hard limit.
Specify the grace period in the format:
[DD] [HH:[MM:]]ss
. Examples:To specify 30 days, 20 hours, 15 minutes and 10 seconds, enter
30:20:15:10
.To specify 18 hours, enter
18:00

Create Directory
Enable this to create the directory if the directory was not created yet.
If Create Directory is disabled and the directory doesn't exist, the quota will not be created.
