+Upgrade Steps For Quota
+=======================
+
+The upgrade process for quota involves executing two upgrade scripts:
+1. pre-upgrade-script-for-quota.sh, and
+2. post-upgrade-script-for-quota.sh
+
+Pre-Upgrade Script:
+==================
+
+###What it does:
+
+The pre-upgrade script (pre-upgrade-script-for-quota.sh) iterates over the list of volumes that have quota enabled and captures the configured quota limits for each such volume in a file under /var/tmp/glusterfs/quota-config-backup/vol_<VOLNAME> by executing 'quota list' command on each one of them.
+
+###Pre-requisites for running Pre-Upgrade Script:
+
+1. Make sure glusterd and the brick processes are running on all nodes in the cluster.
+2. The pre-upgrade script must be run prior to upgradation.
+3. The pre-upgrade script must be run on only one of the nodes in the cluster.
+
+###Location:
+pre-upgrade-script-for-quota.sh must be retrieved from the source tree under the 'extras' directory.
+
+###Invocation:
+Invoke the script by executing `./pre-upgrade-script-for-quota.sh` from the shell on any one of the nodes in the cluster.
+
+* Example:
+ <code>
+ [root@server1 extras]#./pre-upgrade-script-for-quota.sh
+ </code>
+
+Post-Upgrade Script:
+===================
+
+###What it does:
+The post-upgrade script (post-upgrade-script-for-quota.sh) picks the volumes that have quota enabled.
+
+Because the cluster must be operating at op-version 3 for quota to work, the 'default-soft-limit' for each of these volumes is set to 80% (which is its default value) via `volume set` operation as an explicit trigger to bump up the op-version of the cluster and also to trigger a re-write of volfiles which knocks quota off client volume file.
+
+Once this is done, these volumes are started forcefully using `volume start force` to launch the Quota Daemon on all the nodes.
+
+Thereafter, for each of these volumes, the paths and the limits configured on them are retrieved from the backed up file /var/tmp/glusterfs/quota-config-backup/vol_&lt;VOLNAME&gt; and limits are set on them via the `quota limit-usage` interface.
+
+####Note:
+In the new version of quota, the command `quota limit-usage` will fail if the directory on which quota limit is to be set for a given volume does not exist. Therefore, it is advised that you create these directories first before running post-upgrade-script-for-quota.sh if you want limits to be set on these directories.
+
+###Pre-requisites for running Post-Upgrade Script:
+1. The post-upgrade script must be executed after all the nodes in the cluster have upgraded.
+2. Also, all the clients accessing the given volume must also be upgraded before the script is run.
+3. Make sure glusterd and the brick processes are running on all nodes in the cluster post upgrade.
+4. The script must be run from the same node where the pre-upgrade script was run.
+
+
+###Location:
+post-upgrade-script-for-quota.sh can be found under the 'extras' directory of the source tree for glusterfs.
+
+###Invocation:
+post-upgrade-script-for-quota.sh takes one command line argument. This argument could be one of the following:
+1. the name of the volume which has quota enabled; or
+2. 'all'.
+
+In the first case, invoke post-upgrade-script-for-quota.sh from the shell for each volume with quota enabled, with the name of the volume passed as an argument in the command-line:
+
+* Example:
+ For a volume "vol1" on which quota is enabled, invoke the script in the following way:
+ <code>
+ [root@server1 extras]#./post-upgrade-script-for-quota.sh vol1
+ </code>
+
+In the second case, the post-upgrade script picks on its own, the volumes on which quota is enabled, and executes the post-upgrade procedure on each one of them. In this case, invoke post-upgrade-script-for-quota.sh from the shell with 'all' passed as an argument in the command-line:
+
+* Example:
+ <code>
+ [root@server1 extras]#./post-upgrade-script-for-quota.sh all
+ </code>
+
+####Note:
+1. In the second case, post-upgrade-script-for-quota.sh exits prematurely upon failure to ugprade any given volume. In that case, you may run post-upgrade-script-for-quota.sh individually (using the volume name as command line argument) on this volume and also on all volumes appearing after this volume in the output of `gluster volume list`, that have quota enabled.
+2. The backed up files under /var/tmp/glusterfs/quota-config-backup/ are retained after the post-upgrade procedure for reference.
