runraid Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Is it possible to create an NFS or SMB share with a quota? I have a Hikvision IP camera that will write to an NFS or SMB share, but it must do what Hikvision calls a "format" by prefilling the space in the share with files. This will consume my entire unraid space. If I could create a limited share, then that would work. My other option is returning the camera and buying one that doesn't do something so silly.

JorgeB Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 You can create a share that includes a single disk or if that's still more than you want use quotas in a btrfs formatted array disk. Quote Link to comment

As I recall, I wasn't able to get this to work. The Hikvision firmware is full of undocumented quirks / bugs, like the fact that they won't work with network drives / partitions above a certain size limit. No one even knows what that limit is, but it's somewhere between 200 and 300GB. I had to create multiple 200GB partitions on my server, then share each one separately to the cameras. You also must create a folder inside each partition because the cameras fail if there's anything at all in their network share folder (Linux puts a Lost&Found folder on each partition).
