cifs quota failed with status DuplicateEntry

You've probably realized it now, but having not planned for it up-front, to implement tree quotas would require migrating to a new filesystem with the proper structure.

Thanks

I saw youre answer now

My problem was create the quota tree after I created the specific file and not before

this is a shame though, hopefully EMC can borrow Isilon code for dealing with quotas. They can enable quotas on an existing directory. I mean EMC has a quota re-calc command so what would stop them to create an entry in nasdb and then run "du" of some sort to get a directory utilization ?

I have to agree - but I also hope the results go both ways.  I like being able to easily generate a quota report from the Celerra CLI and mail it out to myself.  That's easy with EMC, but not very easy with the Isilon.  The Isilon CLI commands are screen-formatted and will truncate long fields, even when I write to a file.  I can export the Isilon quota file as .CSV, but only from the GUI, not the CLI.  They say that will change in OneFS 6.0, but that's a ways off for me.

Thanks!

Did you check if Isilon support rquota? If yes you might be able to generate the quota list from a remote Unix client

if it was that simple we (and others that have the same problem) would have implemented it already

Haha - no.  The Isilon does not support rquotad, which is quite a pain.  On the NS80, I can delegate quota management to end units; on the Isilon, I have to do it myself.  And I get a lot of requests now!

Hey ..maybe tomorrows big announcement is that you can apply quota to existing directories ?

What announcement ☺ ☺
