GlusterFS Add a New Server to the Pool

I have a GlusterFS set up with 2 volumes. I want to limit the size of the volume.  Right now it just takes up all the space it can get its hands on.

Looking at a client that has the two drives mounted.

I can see that one is 16TB and the other is 5.9TB
how can I limit this?

Quota command

For some more info check out https://docs.gluster.org/en/v3/Administrator%20Guide/Directory%20Quota/ [1]

It looks like you can set the quota on the volume level or even on a director level.  I am just going to do a volume level. 

 

First enable quota on volume-one

> sudo gluster volume quota volume-one enable

Now set the limit to 1 TiB.

> sudo gluster volume quota volume-one limit-usage / 1TB

Now check from the GlusterFS server run this

> sudo gluster volume quota volume-one list

Very nice.

Now checking out the mounted drives from my client server

> df -h

OK that worked

Now let me do the other volume

First enable quota on volume-one

> sudo gluster volume quota volume-three enable

Now set the limit to 2 TiB.

> sudo gluster volume quota volume-three limit-usage / 2TB

 

Now check from the GlusterFS server run this

 

> sudo gluster volume quota volume-three list

 

Very nice.

Now checking out the mounted drives from my client server

> df -h

I will take it 😊
