Notes Quota UI Indicator

Within our test environment I’ve set up a number of test mail accounts and enabled Quota enforcement. I’ve set the Quota enforcement value (located on the Transaction log tab) to use the setting “Check Space used in File When Adding a Note” so that users should they exceed their quota can delete documents and start working again (as opposed to waiting for a compaction) This all works fine until I enable DAOS on the database. After sending a number of test messages the new graphical quota plug-in (within the Notes client) displays the physical space of the file and not logical size of the mail file. If you select the DB properties it says that the database is 153Mb in size but the quota plugin says its 43Mb, If however I change the quota enforcement values to be “Check file size when extending the file” or “Check file size when adding a note” then the quota plug-in starts reporting database size based upon logical size e.g. 153Mb,

From all of the information I’ve read relating to DAOS it seems to indicate that for consistency purposes the database size will always reflect the logical databases size (which is physical + DAOS data).

Can someone please confirm if the Quota UI is working as designed (to reflect physical DB size as opposed to logical) or indeed it is a bug. Any feedback welcomed.

We’re facing the same issue.Did anybody get an answer (or solution)?

You are correct that all quota/client operations should effectively be ignoring DAOS participation. The only place that the physical size should be displayed is in the admin client. Everywhere else the logical size should be the one used.

Investigating…

I’m still seeing this on the gold release. Was it ever identified as a bug?

Hey Colin,

Not sure if it ever was reported but as the initial post in this thread indicated, if you go to your Server Doc > Transaction Logging tab and set it to any of the other options except “Check space used in file when adding a note” the UI indicator will work. Tested this on two separate clusters to confirm. You don’t actually have to have quota enforcement turned on for it to work.

Thanks,

Chris
