I've got a requirement to manage filer quotas from a home grown admin application. The basic functionality would be:
1) read user quota for user X 2) read group quota for group Y 3) set user quota for user X 4) set group quota for group Y
1) and 2) can be accomplished fairly easily via SNMP, however 3) and 4) do not appear to be as straightforward.
Having read the quotas chapter in the storage admin guide it appears the only way to control quotas is via the /etc/quotas file. This means that whenever a quota changes (which I'd expect to occur several times a day) I need to re-write /etc/quotas and do a quota re-size or re-build.
Is there no more elegant way of doing this - via SNMP perhaps?
