22.3.3 Disabling the quota function

This section describes the procedure for disabling the quota function when the target file system is unmounted.

After executing sfcquotaoff(1M), assume that the file system is updated and sfcquotaon(1M) is executed again. In this case, the consistency processing for the quota information is executed internally. The limit values set by the quota function are not validated during the consistency processing for this quota information. Because the consistency processing for the quota information requires greater processing time in proportion to the number of files, once the quota function is enabled, it is recommended that the quota function not be disabled if at all possible.

22.3.3.1 Unmount

Unmount the target GFS Shared File System on all nodes.

To unmount the file system on all nodes, use sfcumntgl(1M).

The example provided below shows that a file system whose mount point is /sfcfs is unmounted. Execute sfcumntgl(1M) on one of the nodes in which the target file system is mounted.

# sfcumntgl /sfcfs

22.3.3.2 Disabling the quota function

To disable the quota function, use sfcquotaoff(1M).

The example provided below shows that the quota function in a file system whose mount point is /sfcfs is disabled. Execute sfcquotaoff(1M) on one of the nodes that share the target file system.

# sfcquotaoff /sfcfs

22.3.3.3 Mount

Mount the target GFS Shared File System on all nodes.

To mount the file system on all nodes, use sfcmntgl(1M).

The example provided below shows that a file system whose mount point is /sfcfs is mounted. Execute sfcmntgl(1M) on one of the nodes that share the target file system.

# sfcmntgl /sfcfs

22.3.3.4 Check the quota function disabling

Use sfcinfo(1M) to check the quota function status.

The example provided below shows that the quota function status in a file system whose mount point is /sfcfs is checked. Execute sfcinfo(1M) on one of the nodes that share the target file system. If off is displayed in the quota field of the file system, the quota function is disabled.

# sfcinfo -q /sfcfs
FSID special                       quota  mount
   2 /dev/sfdsk/gfs/dsk/volume1     off     /sfcfs

As with the UFS file systems, mount(1M) enables each node to check the quota function status when the file system is mounted.
