Abstract
Methods, non-transitory machine readable media, and computing devices that more efficiently and effectively manage storage quota enforcement are disclosed. With this technology, a quota ticket comprising a tally generation number (TGN) and a local allowed usage amount (AUA) are obtained. The local AUA comprises a portion of a global AUA associated with a quota rule. The local AUA is increased following receipt of another portion of the global AUA in a response from a cluster peer, when another TGN in the response matches the TGN and the local AUA is insufficient to execute a received storage operation associated with the quota rule. The local AUA is decreased by an amount corresponding to, and following execution of, the storage operation, when the increased local AUA is sufficient to execute the storage operation.
