After participating in this mildly spicy thread, I became aware of that fact that the seemingly innocuous quota is not quite a free way to limit the size of datasets and that unfortunately they do impose performance implications; however, the impact they have on performance can be reduced in...

Hi everyone, I am new on FreeNAS and i have a question. I read documentation on the web and the forum but is not clear for me what is the better way to define quota for users. I know 2 methods: 1. Set the quota for Dataset and create 1 dataset for user to define the quota. 2. Set the quota...

I have three FreeNAS servers. Master has replication setup to both a backup FreeNAS and a disaster recovery (DR) FreeNAS. Before setting up replication on master I transferred the main 'tank' pool's latest snapshot to backup and DR manually using zfs send recv piped through netcat--replication...

Hi all, In order to test alerting on storage usage, I have done the following: created test dataset with 100M quota downloaded 100MB test file from linode.com/speedtest until it reached ~75% (throughput decreased at this point dramatically) initiated cp to duplicate the file in order to bump...

Hi community, I've setup an awesome (my perspective) Freenas for TimeMachine and I'm running into an issue. I keep getting a "no free space" issue. It happens after an initial backup with TM. My settings for the share's were set up with the wizard. I have also setup share's manually just to...

Hallo, ich benutze FreeNAS-11.1-RELEASE und erhalte eine Mail mit folgendem Text: Refquota exceed on dataset d6/data/dk. Used 80.07% (2.64 TB of 3.3 TB) Nun möchte ich den Threshold gern erhöhen, sodass der Alarm und die Mail erst bei 90% ausgelöst werden. In der Gui gibt es dazu keine...

Freenas 9.10-U6. In the advanced dataset options are two fields - "Quota for this dataset and all children" and "Quota for this dataset"? What's the difference? If you quota a dataset (call it Junk, with a quota 500GiB) and then create a dataset under it (lets call that Trash), wouldn't the max...

Want try to use get quota command (https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=smb.conf&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+8.0-RELEASE+and+Ports&format=html) This option is only available you have compiled Samba with the --with-sys-quotas option or on Linux with --with-quotas and a working...

I have a source FreeNAS system and a target system. The sole purpose of the target system is to accept replications from the source system -- to act as a backup. I created identical pools on each system and set up replication from source to target. I didn't create any datasets nor set any...
