I’m running 7.2.5.1p6 (upgrading to 7.2.6.1 this weekend)
They are enabled, and active (can’t put more data than the quota
is set to). I’ve even created a monitoring tree based quota per the
documentation from netapp.
Here’s a modified version of my quotas for homeshares
#USER HOME SHARES BEGIN
* user@/vol/VOLUME/QTREE04 - - - 1048576K -
* user@/vol/ VOLUME/QTREE09 - - - 104857600K -
* user@/vol/ VOLUME/QTREE02 - - - 102400K -
* user@/vol/ VOLUME/QTREE06 - - - 10485760K -
* user@/vol/ VOLUME/QTREE10 - - - 209715200K -
* user@/vol/ VOLUME/QTREE01 - - - 20480K -
* user@/vol/ VOLUME/QTREE07 - - - 26214400K -
* user@/vol/ VOLUME/QTREE03 - - - 512000K -
* user@/vol/ VOLUME/QTREE08 - - - 52428800K -
* user@/vol/ VOLUME/QTREE05 - - - 5242880K -
* user@/vol/ VOLUME/QTREE11 - - - 20480K -
#USER HOME SHARES END
Here’s a direct quote from Netapp Support re: my issue of USER quotas
not properly showing when mapped
“I wanted to find you some documentation for this condition but
found little. However, I did confirm your suspicion that this is by
design”
To me that says what you have currently should not work. Sigh…
round and round we go J
Thanks for the info, It will give me more firepower to figure out
what the issue really is.

Subject: Re: User based Quotas - Why don't they show up correctly when
mapped?
We are using user quotas for
our users and it shows the capacity based on their quota, not the entire
volume. We are using 7.2.6.1. Perhaps your quotas aren't enabled or
haven't completed a resize operation?

More fun with user based quotas. When a user has a mapped CIFS share
to their home drive the size of the entire volume shows up when they map the
drive. I thought user quotas used to just show the "quotaed"
space for that user.
I.E. I have a 11TB volume. I create a user quota of 500MB and apply it
to a user (say xyz99). When XYZ99's home share is mapped they see 11TB available
to them, not 500MB. A tree based quota with a hard limit works just fine
in showing only 500MB available.
I've worked with Netapp support and did get an obscure bug (88541) that has no information and a reply that there isn’t
much information on this issue. (Maybe the functionality just isn’t
there? I could swear we used to have that function.)
Does anyone use user quotas and have this same problem?
Are there better ways to do user home share type CIFS shares?
Thanks
