An system for quota arbitration of a distributed file system (DFS) may obtain a current amount of storage used by a given quota entity on storage segments of the DFS, the given quota entity having a global quota for the DFS and each of the storage segments being assigned a respective first quota limit for the given quota entity. The system may determine a global available quota amount for the given quota entity across all the storage segments based on the obtained current amounts of storage used by the given quota entity and the global quota, and provision of a respective second quota limit for the given quota entity to each of the plurality of storage segments, based on a division of all or less than all of the global available quota amount.
