We track daily per-user/per-volume usage by keeping quotas turned on (but with no limits) for each volume we want to watch. Our quotas file looks like:
user@/vol/design - - -user@/vol/dept - - -user@/vol/users - - -We do a "quota report" every morning at 6am, and diff it against the previous day's report to get usage details. If you need greater granularity, just run the reports more frequently.
Yep, having default quotas everywhere should definitely be a documented "best practice" if it isn't already. I've got that here ("unlimited" user quotas for tracking purposes), but it doesn't help locate files/directories with the most "activity" in them. There seem to be a lot of tools to tell you "how much" (sysstat, nfsstat, filestats, quota report, etc.), but not "where" to any degree of granularity finer than a volume or qtree.
Can DataFabricManager produce per-directory activity reports?
