<p class="MsoNormal">Otherwise, if there are user, group, and project quotas all enabled at the same time, then the inode/space usage limit will be applied by the lowest limit that is hit. In some cases this is desirable (e.g. a project quota of 1TB shared
among a group of 10 users each with 20TB limit). In other cases this can be confusing and it is better to just use the projid quotas for different parts of the filesystem.<o:p></o:p></p>

common "PROJID == UID" workflow. This patch isn't landed yet, but will become available in a release once the development is finished.<o:p></o:p></p>

<br>
Thank you for confirming our suspicion.<br>
We have come to the same conclusion on our larger systems (DDN & Clusterstor) but we were hoping perhaps in newer lustre versions this was different.<br>

<br>
User quota, if enabled, will be affected regardless of where in the file system the file is.<br>
<br>
We decided to use only project quota, even for users home directory, i.e. $HOME get projectquota for projid = userid and project storage has projid = the project storage gid.<br>
<br>
Made our life easier<br>

Subject: [lustre-discuss] question regarding lustre project quotas vs user and/or group quota<br>
<br>
<br>
Hello all<br>
<br>
I have a question regarding project quotas<br>
<br>
If we have activated user and project quotas on a file system:<br>
Will user quota be affected by what is inside a project/directory quota?<br>
How can we prevent user quota being affected by what a user put into a directory/project quota<br>
<br>
This is on lustre 2.15.x<br>
<br>
<br>
Best Regards<br>
Eianr Næss Jensen<br>
