[gpfsug-discuss] Quota Idea / RFE

[Ryan Novosielski]

I have a similar issue related to AFM: you can have two different quotas 
on the AFM home and cache (which I can't really see why you would ever 
want to do, but whatever), and there's not currently a way to 
syncrhornize them even if you want to (which you almost always would).

The behavior you get if you allow a cache to fill, for example, but 
being over quota on the at-home fileset is very strange (you get 
persistent load average on involved machines, etc., which are trying to 
play back writes).
