From fb18a57568c2b84cd611e242c0f6fa97b45e4907 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Luis Henriques Date: Fri, 5 Jan 2018 10:47:18 +0000 Subject: ceph: quota: add initial infrastructure to support cephfs quotas This patch adds the infrastructure required to support cephfs quotas as it is currently implemented in the ceph fuse client. Cephfs quotas can be set on any directory, and can restrict the number of bytes or the number of files stored beneath that point in the directory hierarchy. Quotas are set using the extended attributes 'ceph.quota.max_files' and 'ceph.quota.max_bytes', and can be removed by setting these attributes to '0'.
