A follow up question based on your input:
I was hoping to use quota just so we could keep tabs on the usage: Using OST pools, do we
have to rule out the possibility of using quota feature all together ? I was hoping to
accomplish the following, would quota's work at any level of the hierarchy?
/lustre/{sas,sata}/<user>
You can still use quotas with ost pools, but the quotas will apply to the aggregate usage
across both the sas and sata pools. If you want to enforce separate quotas for sas and
sata, you would need different file systems.
