[Lustre-discuss] quota persistence over filesystem shutdown

[Jim Garlick]

In the fall we plan to roll out our 1.6.5 release in production and if
all goes well in testing, enable quotas with no limits for block/inode
usage reporting.

I'm adding the tunefs commands to our rollout notes.

Will we need to re-run quotacheck in our startup scripts when the MDS 
restarts uncleanly?

Thanks,

Jim
