Abstract
A processing device causes a plurality of storage servers to create tenant identifiers for a tenant of a multi-tenant distributed file system that is distributed over the plurality of storage servers, the plurality of storage servers having underlying local file systems that interface with the multi-tenant distributed file system. The processing device maps the tenant to the tenant identifiers. The processing device assigns a global storage quota to the tenant. The processing device divides the global storage quota into a plurality of local storage quotas and assigns a local storage quota of the plurality of local storage quotas to each storage server of the plurality of storage servers.
