GFEDQUOTA(1)

💖 GFEDQUOTA 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the gfedquota page from the Gfarm manual set ✨ this is the one where you go in and edit file limits — like, you're literally the main character adjusting who gets how much space. no cap 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

gfedquota — edit file limits 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gfedquota [options] -u user_name

gfedquota [options] -g group_name

gfedquota [options] -D dirset_name

like. pick your target — a user, a group, or a dirset — and go off 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea 🍓: gfedquota sets or changes the limitation of user, group and directory quota. that's the whole vibe. you're the quota editor, you're the one with the pen, periodt.

now, there are two kinds of limits and you need to know them:

• soft limit — the gentle one. it comes with a grace period 🌸 like "okay girl you're over but i'll give you a minute"
• hard limit — the absolute wall 💀 no grace, no mercy

and the limitations themselves can be specified by any of these four things:

1. the total number of files
2. the total space of files
3. the total number of files including replicas
4. the total space of files including replicas

🫶 pro tip from me to you: specifying 'disable' or -1 removes the limitation. and if you specify no option at all, no quota is imposed. literally nothing happens. the chillest outcome 💜

now the ✨privilege✨ part, and bestie this one's important:

🔐 This command requires the gfarmadm group privilege — except the -D option. The -D option requires the gfarmroot group privilege instead.

so yeah. permissions are giving gatekeeping but like, correctly 🙈
