Issue

When creating a qtree quota rule using the REST API or the NetApp Python SDK, an unexpected top-level volume quota rule (a “default” rule with no limits) is also created automatically. This does not occur when using the ONTAP CLI, which only creates the explicitly requested rule.

Example Log Output:

::*> volume quota policy rule show -volume vol_quota_test

Vserver: vs1   Policy: default   Volume: vol_quota_test

Type   Target   Qtree   Mapping   Disk Limit   ...
----   ------   -----   -------   ----------   ...
tree   ""      ""      -         -            ...   <-- Unexpected default rule
tree   q7g     ""      -         -            ...   <-- Explicit rule requested
