Hi Isiloners, 

Can someone help me to understand why the export size showing " "Total cluster size"" as below and how we can fix this ? this cluster is pretty old and running on 6.x , I just picked up migration.

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
clustername-bin-isilon.com:/ifs/bin-isilon/bin_libraries  200T  120T   80T  61% /bin/bin_libraries

Thanks,
SRK

Hello you can create a quota on that path and give size which you want, their are two types of size soft and hard, soft means you still be able to write till you reach hard limit or till grace period. After hard limit and grace period you wont be able to write. Their are three types of quota user group and directory. In this case choose directory and enable container option so it wont show entire cluster size but will show soft limit or hard limit size.

If I understand what you’re saying correctly, the export will show the total size of the cluster, unless you set a quota on the exported share.

Yes correct but we should also set container to yes in quota to reflect the size of quota or else it will still show cluster size till we enable container option in quota

Also, in recent OneFS versions, using this option will default to showing the soft quota value instead of the hard quota value. This is a change from previous behavior that didn’t allow soft quotas to be the container size. There’s a sysctl to toggle this behavior.  

Check this sysctl to find out: 
     # sysctl efs.quota.soft_containers
If that is set to 1 the size should be soft-threshold. 
If set to 0 the size should be hard-threshold.

If you need to change this value use:
     # isi_sysctl_cluster efs.quota.soft_containers=0

That will persistently set to all nodes. 
Remount would likely be required to change container size displayed to clients.
