[Gluster-users] Quota translator: df now shows 0% used

[Dan Bretherton]

Dear All,
I decided to try the new volume quota feature after a non-responding
server for a distributed volume caused the other server's brick to
fill up completely.  After reading in a previous posting that
features/quota only works on the server at the moment, I added it to
my existing two server vol files.  I am not seeing any errors on
server startup or on mounting the distributed volume on clients, but
"df -hl" shows the volume as 0% full even though it is actually ~90%
full.  Read and write access appear to be working normally but I
haven't tried filling it up to find out if the quota translator
actually works.  One other observation is that new files created after
the quota translator was added appear to be showing up in the %used
column; when I checked just now it had gone up to 1% used.  I tried
running "ls -lR" on a couple of the clients (of which there are
several, incidentally) even though I'm not sure this self heal
operation has any effect on a simple distributed volume.  It didn't
have any effect on the %used according to df.  The volume file for one
of the two bricks is shown below.  I tried adding features/quota at
the end as well (just before the server section) but it didn't make
any difference.  Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated
