[gpfsug-discuss] Quota via API anyway to avoid negative values?

[Stephan Graf]

Hi Kristi,

I just want to mention that we have a ticket right now at IBM because of 
negative quota values. In our case even the '-e' does not work:
[root at justnsd01a ~]#‌ mmlsquota -j hpsadm -e largedata

                         Block Limits 
|    File Limits

Filesystem type            KB     quota     limit  in_doubt   grace | 
files  quota   limit in_doubt   grace Remarks

largedata FILESET -45853247616 536870912000 590558003200         0 
none |       6 3000000 3300000       0    none


The solution offered by support is to run a 'mmcheckquota'. we are still 
in discussion.

Stephan
