In OneFS 8.2.0, quotas present actual space consumed on the PowerScale cluster.
For example, there is a directory or user quota of 500 GB and it is reporting 400 GB used. 200 GB of files are archived from the PowerScale cluster to cloud. Moving data to the cloud reduces the quota’s measured node space consumption. In OneFS releases earlier than 8.2.0, the amount of data that has been archived to the cloud frees the quota. And the quota shows 200 GB (400 GB to 200 GB) used out of 500 GB. That means the user or directory quota can exceed the set limit (500 GB). In OneFS 8.2.0, the application logical size integrated with CloudPools 2.0 measures the true capacity consumption even if data is archived from the PowerScale cluster to the cloud. And the quota shows 400 GB used out of 500 GB through the application logical size. That means the user or directory quota cannot exceed the set limit of 500 GB.
