Description Ben Marzinski 2009-10-20 05:10:34 UTC
The GFS2 statfs and quota tunables are not able to be set as mount arguments.  Also, there is no way to limit the statfs fuzziness with respect to the number of blocks used, only by time.

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2009-10-20 05:30:28 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release.  Product Management has requested
further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed
products.  This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update
release.

Patch to add statfs and quota mount arguments.

This patch adds the statfs_quantum, statfs_percent, and quota_quantum mount arguments.  The statfs_quantum and quota_quantum mount arguments allow you to set the tunables of the same name at mount time.  The statfs_percent argument allows you to set a bound on the percentage of free space changed on the local machine before its local statfs changes are synced to the master statfs file.
