Project quota behaviour on hardlinks

Project quota behaviour on hardlinks

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how project quota behaves on hardlinks when created in
different tree structures based on below 2 situations.

* Does it account twice if the file is hard linked in the same parent?
* Does it account twice if the file is hard linked in a different tree
which is also set quota in other project?

Any links to this documentation or direct answer is requested.

And pardon me for previous mail.

Thanks
Varun Shastry

Test it and see.

Hard links are only accounted once to the owner of the inode.

You can't hard link across directory tree quota boundaries - you'll
get EXDEV. Similarly for rename across directory tree boundaries.

Cheers,

Dave.
