The invention discloses a management and control method for user quota in a multi-
network storage system. The method comprises the following steps of starting a
metadata server, starting an
object storage server, starting a management end, carrying a
client end, controlling quotas and back writing quotas. The invention further discloses a management and
control system for user quotas. The
system comprises a management end, a
client end, a
metadata server and an
object storage server; the management end has an administrator
client thread; the client end comprises a quota control module; the
metadata server comprises a
metadata service thread, a quota regularly synchronized client thread and an administrator service thread; and the
object storage server has a document service thread and a quota regularly synchronized service thread. With the adoption of the method and
system provided by the invention, waste of network bandwidth caused by unnecessary communication and excessive quota data among servers due to change of resource usage can be avoided, the influence of the quota
control function to the system performance is reduced, and meanwhile, a quota consistency
synchronizing mechanism is further provided to ensure
correctness and consistency of the usage amount of user resources in the system.
