  • Quota/Qtree

Answer

  • No. The quota report command does not include ONTAP metadata or delayed trees.
  • The used field is only the size of the files:

cluster1::*> quota report
Vserver: svm1_cluster1
                                    ----Disk----  ----Files-----   Quota
Volume   Tree      Type    ID        Used  Limit    Used   Limit   Specifier
-------  --------  ------  -------  -----  -----  ------  ------   ---------
volmulti  Qtree1   tree    1        1.47GB   5GB   12457       -   Qtree1
volmulti           tree    *           0B      -       0       -   *
2 entries were displayed.

  • The used in volume show includes ONTAP metadata:

cluster1::*> vol show -fields used,available,total
vserver       volume   available total  used
------------- -------- --------- ------ ------
svm1_cluster1 volmulti 7.96GB    9.50GB 1.54GB
