Changing Disk Quota for Multiple Containers

You can specify a new disk quota for a bunch of your Containers at once on the Configure: Set Container Disk Limits page.

The Containers Disk Usage Current Statistics table lets you take in the current disk quota and usage for all the selected Containers at a single glance.

In the Change Containers Disk Quota group there are three major options to set a defined disk quota for the Containers:

• Use the Set Disk Quota to option to specify an exact size of the disk space each Container is allowed to consume.
• Use the Increase Disk Quota by option to have the quota increased by a specified amount for each Container. So, if two or more Containers had different disk quotas before, the latter will remain different because the increase is the same.
• Use the Decrease Disk Quota by option to have the quota decreased by a specified amount for each Container. So, if two or more Containers had different disk quotas before, the latter will remain different because the decrease is the same.

To further tune the disk usage, set the inodes limit you think is reasonable for the total number of files you have or are going to have on each Container disk. In the Change Containers Disk Inodes Limit group you can:

• Set an inodes density value and use the Calculate the disk inodes limit using the inodes per KB ratio option;
• Set an inodes limit value to depend on the current Container inodes density;
• Manually enter an inodes limit value;

Just enter the desired number into the corresponding field, choose the proper units of measurements and click Submit.

Note: When performing the operation, bear in mind that the disk quota for a Container cannot be less than the size of the disk space already occupied by this Container (you can learn it from the Resources table on the Summary tab).

The two remaining options in both groups speak for themselves - select Set unlimited Disk Quota/Inodes to remove any disk space/inodes restrictions for the selected Containers, or select Do not change Disk Quota/Inodes Limit to leave the current disk space restrictions intact.
