Description Ingo Steuwer

2013-08-26 15:45:42 CEST

The current implementations for filesystem quotas is inconsequent:

- in UDM, quota-policies are combined with shares
- in UMC, quotas are shown for partitions

Technically correct is the combination of quotas and partitions. For most administrators, it is easier to think about shares (or the "task" assigned to a share) instead of partitions. In UDM, only shares are available.

The integration of quotas and shares/partitions should be revised, possible approaches:
1. UMC only
- remove filesystem-quota-policies from UDM
- add the "default-quota"-functionalities into the UMC-modules
- add informations about the shares on a partition
Draback: no central management

2. better UDM integration
- add partitions to UDM (attribute at the share, standalone object, ...?)
- combine default quotas with partitions

3. ..?

This issue has been filed against UCS 3. UCS 3 is out of the normal maintenance and many UCS components have vastly changed in UCS 4.

If this issue is still valid, please change the version to a newer UCS version otherwise this issue will be automatically closed in the next weeks.

There is a Customer ID set so I set the flag "Enterprise Customer affected".

This issue has been filed against UCS 3.1.

UCS 3.1 is out of maintenance and many UCS components have vastly changed in later releases. Thus, this issue is now being closed.

If this issue still occurs in newer UCS versions, please use "Clone this bug" or reopen this issue. In this case please provide detailed information on how this issue is affecting you.
