Quota for vxfs filesystem

[Shahul]

Hi,

Has anyone tried implementing quota for application and database? For users, yes, we get warning when we cross the soft limit. What if the application users or database users cross the limit? Will the application/database stop functioning?

TIA

FOr users enforcing quotas is the norm and enforces discipline. When user's reach quota -- they are given a warning (depending on how you set up quotas) that if they do not trim down usage of storage - then they will not be able to create or edit new files... For apps - it depends.


But enforcing quotas on application and database storage will spell trouble for you. Specially if your database instance is set to auto-extend. In fact as good storage administration practice - you should provide for automated expansion of database/application filesystems so you do not encounter downtime or setbacks.
