SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
**btrfs quota** <subcommand> <args>
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The commands under :command:`btrfs quota` are used to affect the global status of quotas
|
|
of a btrfs filesystem. The quota groups (qgroups) are managed by the subcommand
|
|
:doc:`btrfs-qgroup`.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Qgroups are different than the traditional user quotas and designed
|
|
to track shared and exclusive data per-subvolume. Please refer to the section
|
|
:ref:`HIERARCHICAL QUOTA GROUP CONCEPTS<man-quota-hierarchical-quota-group-concepts>`
|
|
for a detailed description.
|
|
|
|
PERFORMANCE IMPLICATIONS
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
When quotas are activated, they affect all extent processing, which takes a
|
|
performance hit. Activation of qgroups is not recommended unless the user
|
|
intends to actually use them.
|
|
|
|
STABILITY STATUS
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
The qgroup implementation has turned out to be quite difficult as it affects
|
|
the core of the filesystem operation. Qgroup users have hit various corner cases
|
|
over time, such as incorrect accounting or system instability. The situation is
|
|
gradually improving and issues found and fixed.

SUBCOMMAND
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
disable <path>
|
|
Disable subvolume quota support for a filesystem.
|

|
enable [options] <path>
|
|
Enable subvolume quota support for a filesystem. At this point it's
|
|
possible the two modes of accounting. The *full* means that extent

|
|
account everything to the first owner. See the section for more details.
|
|
|
|
``Options``
|
|
|
|
-s|--simple
|
|
use simple quotas (squotas) instead of full qgroup accounting
|
|
|
|
rescan [options] <path>
|
|
Trash all qgroup numbers and scan the metadata again with the current config.
|
|
|
|
``Options``
|
|
|
|
-s|--status
|
|
show status of a running rescan operation.
|
|
-w|--wait
|
|
start rescan and wait for it to finish (can be already in progress)
|
|
-W|--wait-norescan
|
|
wait for rescan to finish without starting it
