What exactly do you mean by "settings effective"?  There have been
changes in the way CephFS quotas work in mimic and, if you're using a
Luminous cluster (12.2.*) the kernel client effectively does *not*
support quotas -- you'll be able to exceed the quotas you've tried to
set because the client won't be checking the limits.  Thus, -EOPNOTSUPP
seems appropriate for this scenario.

I guess that the confusing part is that the xattr is actually set in
that case, but the kernel client won't be able to use it to validate
quotas in the filesystem tree because realms won't be created.

Cheers,
