Issue

  • An explicit user who is configured with a 30GB disk limit can only write 15GB of data in the qtree, as the group user has a default 15GB disk limit.

Vserver: svm1

                                        ----Disk----   ----Files----- Quota
Volume   Tree      Type    ID           Used     Limit Used   Limit   Specifier
-------  --------  ------  -------      -----    ----- ------ ------  ---------
vol1               user    domain\user1 10.97GB  30GB  11689  -       domain\user1
vol1     qtree1    user    domain\user1 10.97GB  15GB  11689  -       * 

  • The following quota policy has been assigned to the volume, and no disk limit has been specified for any of the qtrees:
