I was able to get the qgroup assigning to work properly. I guess the next question would be if it would be a valid feature to implement automatic qgroup deletion when a subvolume is destroyed. I suppose in order to help alleviate issues with that perhaps it may also be useful to require user created qgroups to be at least level 1. that way it would be trivial to detect qgroups that were created for subvolumes, as they would all be level 0. I don't think this would cause any issues since you can't assign a subvolume to another qgroup from what I can tell, only a qgroup to another qgroup. -Kevin On 07/06/2014 08:57 PM, Wang Shilong wrote: > Hi Kevin, > > On 07/05/2014 05:10 AM, Kevin Brandstatter wrote: >> how are qgroups accounted for?
