quota configuration options in .lmf are not taken into account with Lustre 2.x

[degremont]

The quota configuration options (quota_iunit, quota_bunit, quota_itune, quota_btune) set in the filesystem description file .lmf seem to be ignored when the filesystem is created or updated.

Here is an abstract of the quota section from the .lmf file.

#
# Quota
#
# Enable quota support.
# Possible values are yes or no (default is no).
quota: yes

# Quota configuration options
# Describe options for quota support, if quota enabled.
#
# quota_type:     (default is 'ug')
# quota_iunit:    
# quota_bunit:    
# quota_itune:    
# quota_btune:    
quota_type: u
quota_bunit: 10240

The quota_bunit is not taken into account, neither during mkfs.lustre/tunefs.lustre operations, nor at tuning step. This option would require a 'lfs setquota' command to be launched for each user.

Looking at the code, I did not find any function where 'quota_bunit' option is processed.

Ok, after verification, proc entries for quota tuning has changed since this code was done (probably in Lustre 2.0). Now, quota should be set using: /proc/fs/lustre/lquota/dev- LustreManual? does not seem to be up to date.

Those paths are used in lib/Shine/Command/Tune.py. Fix should be there.

As a workaround, you can set this tuning using tuning.conf
