[gpfsug-discuss] restrict user quota on specific filesets

Hi,

Is it possible to let users only write data in filesets where some quota 
is explicitly set ?
We have independent filesets with quota defined for users that should 
have access in a specific fileset. The problem is when users using 
another fileset give eg global write access on their directories, the 
former users can write without limits, because it is by default 0 == no 
limits.
Setting the quota on the file system will only restrict users quota in 
the root fileset, and setting quota for each user - fileset combination 
would be a huge mess. Setting default quotas does not work for existing 
users.

Thank you !!

Kenneth
