However, it is not a mechanism for imposing capacity restrictions on the actual contents within a directory or folder. Instead, it controls the size of the directory file itself, which holds metadata about the files within the directory. To enforce capacity limits on a directory or folder,use the quota management features available in ONTAP, which allow setting quotas at the user or qtree level.
