mmlsquota Command
Name
mmlsquota – Displays quota information for a user, group, or fileset.
Synopsis
mmlsquota [-u User | -g Group | -j Fileset] [-v | -q] [-e] [-C ClusterName] [Device1 Device2 ...]
Or,
mmlsquota -d {-u | -g | -j}
Description
For the specified User, Group, or Fileset the mmlsquota command displays information about quota limits
and current usage on each file system in the cluster. This information is displayed only if quota limits have
been established and the user has consumed some amount of storage. If you want quota information for a
User, Group, or Fileset that has no file system storage allocated at the present time, you must specify the
-v option.
If none of: -g, -u, or -j is specified, the default is to display only user quotas for the user who issues the
command.
For each file system in the cluster, the mmlsquota command displays:
1. Block limits:
v quota type (USR or GRP or FILESET)
v current usage in KB
v soft limit in KB
v hard limit in KB
v space in doubt
v grace period
2. File limits:
v current number of files
v soft limit
v hard limit
v files in doubt
v grace period
Because the sum of the in-doubt value and the current usage may not exceed the hard limit, the actual
block space and number of files available to the user, group, or fileset may be constrained by the in-doubt
value. If the in-doubt value approaches a significant percentage of the quota, run the mmcheckquota
command to account for the lost space and files.
GPFS quota management takes replication into account when reporting on and determining if quota limits
have been exceeded for both block and file usage. In a file system that has either type of replication set to
a value of two, the values reported on by both the mmlsquota command and the mmrepquota command
are double the value reported by the ls command.
When issuing the mmlsquota command on a mounted file system, negative in-doubt values may be
reported if the quota server processes a combination of up-to-date and back-level information. This is a
transient situation and may be ignored.
