Thoughts on Quotas

[Dennis Melentyev]

As of historical data, I'd rather like to see on-the-fly aging/releasing of the oldest PFS snapshots or better more fine grained structures (with some notifications to admins probably).Have no idea of how difficult is it to implement.
So, if a user tried to overwrite a 10Gig file 100 times in a row he will just loose the oldest versions of it, not a big deal for me./dennisOn Tue, Sep 28, 2010 at 4:28 PM, Sdävtaker <sdavtaker at gmail.com> wrote:
I think historical data should not affect user quota since user is
unable to clean up his own historical data.
Historical data should be seen as administrative overhead, there is a
need to know some metric about the historical data so cleanup can be
automatized to avoid the scenario where users "got" space but it
doesnt exist phisically in the box.
