#quota vs efficiencies

Hey everyone,

I have a question regarding quota Disk used:

  1. Does quota disk used take storage efficiencies (deduplication, compression, etc.) into account?
  2. If not, is there a way to extract the used capacity while factoring in storage efficiencies?

You can set some volume settings in regards to logical space reporting. Maybe that will help. Not sure about the quota part...

#

Quota usage is always real usage, not taking dedupe and compaction into account, to my best knowledge

Thanks! We have some qtrees assigned to departments and applications, and we’d like to see the actual usage, factoring in efficiencies for each department. Based on that, we plan to create a dashboard in Splunk for chargeback purposes.

Then stay away from logical space reporting, although tempting when used for charge back 🤔
