Hello,
during a Fileserver Migration a whole tree of UserHome Shares was copied. After the initial copy a Quota Template is applied to [Drive]:\userhome for the subfolders. As there are different Quotas, I wanted to use the mechanism to run a command (dirquota)
when a limit is reached to apply the next higher Quota Template. I talk about home folders for 1000+ users and no list of the actual quotas applied in the source fileserver is available or could be created (please don't ask why ;-) ).
I experienced that this works fine for new subfolders (i. e. [Drive]:\userhome\NewFolder): when the threshold is reached the dirquota command runs and sets the defined higher Quota Template. BUT is does not work for existing folders (i. e. [Drive]:\userhome\ExistingFolder).
The question: Does anybody know how to resolve or why this does not work for existing folders?
To illustrate:
2 Quota Templates:
- Default (Name "Default", 100 MB, soft, when 85% hit run command dirquota quota modify /path:[Quota Path] /sourcetemplate:"Extended"
- Extended (Name "Extended", 2000MB, soft, no action (for testing)
then subfolders, each 200 MB in size
- one existing ([Drive]:\userhome\ExistingFolder)
- then appliying Quota Template "Default" to [Drive]:\userhome with autoapply to subfolders
- nothing happens to "ExistingFolder" FSRM shows only "Percent Used" of 200%, Quota "Standard" applied
- new subfolder "[Drive]:\userhome\NewFolder"
- fill Folder with 200 MB data
- FSRM for folder "NewFolder" shows Quota "Extended" applied, Percent used 10% -> the command to assign another quota to the folder worked for this new subfolder, bt not for the existing folder
Does anyone have an idea?
Thank you, David
