Issue

While attempting to increase the max-dir-size, the following error is received

cluster::*> vol modify -volume volume -maxdir-size 5GB -vserver vserver

Warning: The default maximum directory size is model-dependent, and is, by default, already optimized for the size of system memory. You can increase it for a specific volume by using this option, but doing so could impact system performance. This parameter is not supported on Infinite Volume. Do not proceed unless directed to do so by technical support.

         Do you want to continue? {y|n}: y

Error: command failed: Unable to set volume attribute "maxdir-size" for volume "volume" on Vserver "vserver". Reason: Illegal max-dir-size value 5242880.
