Well I don't know what my other email accounts problem is with this
list, and I don't see any moderation so I'm assuming its just not making
it through, but forgive me if you end up with 3 copies of this
message...
Hello list,
Couple questions regarding quotas I couldn't find in the archives.
I'm looking at implementing user quotas for > 1 million accounts and
I've read in the XFS for Linux Administration guide:
"In addition, on XFS filesystems there is no limit to the number of
accounts and there is little performance penalty for large numbers of
users."
but I'm not sure if >1 million accounts falls into the "large number of
users" category or "thats far too many to ever work efficiently".
Also, it seems in my limited testing that whats reported by repquota
isn't in real time when I fill up one of my account quotas, I'm assuming
the quota data is being updated at some sort of interval? Is this
configurable?
And if anyone can point me to a more in depth description of how quotas
are implemented than the XFS admin guide, but higher level than poking
through the code, I'd be very grateful.
Thanks.
