Description

When maxdirsize is exceeded in ONTAP, an out of space error (ENOSPC) is issued to the client and an event management system message is triggered. To remediate a directory size issue, a storage administrator must increase the maxdirsize setting or move files out of the directory.

 

Is changing maxdirsize immediate?

 Yes, you can change maxdirsize on the fly to increase the directory size when the users are connected to the filer.
