[Gluster-users] Simple quota in GlusterFS 11

[Alan Orth]

Revisiting this now, I see there is some basic documentation for GlusterFS
11 simple-quota in its README.md:

https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/tree/devel/xlators/features/simple-quota

Has anyone set up simple quotas yet? I don't understand the documentation.
Are we supposed to be setting the namespace and the quota on the FUSE
mountpoint or on the backend brick? And I get the general idea of the
"helper" script, but it would be good for a bit more documentation around
it to understand how we apply it to our environments.

Thank you!
