Description

The mc admin bucket quota command manages per-bucket storage quotas.

Note

Use mc admin on MinIO Deployments Only

MinIO does not support using mc admin commands with other S3-compatible services, regardless of their claimed compatibility with MinIO deployments.

Units of Measurement

The mc admin bucket quota --hard flag accepts the following case-insensitive suffixes to represent the unit of the specified size value:

Suffix Unit Size
k KB (Kilobyte, 1000 Bytes)
m MB (Megabyte, 1000 Kilobytes)
g GB (Gigabyte, 1000 Megabytes)
t TB (Terrabyte, 1000 Gigabytes)
ki KiB (Kibibyte, 1024 Bites)
mi MiB (Mebibyte, 1024 Kibibytes)
gi GiB (Gibibyte, 1024 Mebibytes)
ti TiB (Tebibyte, 1024 Gibibytes)

Omitting the suffix defaults to bytes.

Examples

Configure a Hard Quota on a Bucket

Use mc admin bucket quota with the --hard flag to specify a hard quota on a bucket. Hard quotas prevent the bucket size from growing past the specified limit.

mc admin bucket quota TARGET/BUCKET --hard LIMIT
  • Replace TARGET with the alias of a configured MinIO deployment. Replace BUCKET with the name of the bucket on which to set the hard quota.
  • Replace LIMIT with the maximum size to which the bucket can grow. For example, to set a hard limit of 10 Terrabytes, specify 10t. See Units of Measurement for supported units.

Retrieve Bucket Quota Configuration

Use mc admin bucket quota to retrieve the current quota configuration for a bucket:

mc admin bucket quota TARGET/BUCKET

Replace TARGET with the alias of a configured MinIO deployment. Replace BUCKET with the name of the bucket on which to retrieve the quota.

Clear Configured Bucket Quota

Use mc admin bucket quota with the --clear flag to clear all quotas from a bucket.

mc admin bucket quota TARGET/BUCKET --clear
  • Replace TARGET with the alias of a configured MinIO deployment. Replace BUCKET with the name of the bucket on which to clear the quota.

Syntax

mc admin bucket quota has the following syntax:

mc admin bucket quota TARGET [ARGUMENTS]

mc admin bucket quota supports the following arguments:

TARGET

mc-cmd

The full path to the bucket for which the command creates the quota. Specify the alias of the MinIO deployment as a prefix to the path. For example:

mc admin bucket quota play/mybucket

Omit all other arguments to return the current quota settings for the specified bucket.

--hard

mc-cmd

Sets a maximum limit to the bucket storage size. The MinIO server rejects any incoming PUT request whose contents would exceed the bucket’s configured quota.

For example, a hard limit of 10GB would prevent adding any additional objects if the bucket reaches 10GB of size.

See Units of Measurement for supported unit sizes.

--clear

mc-cmd

Clears all quotas configured for the bucket.
