Issue

  • The maxdirsize of some volumes is not the default size of 320MB.

Example:

::*> volume show -volume vol1 -fields maxdir-size
vserver volume maxdir-size
------- ------ -----------
svm1    vol1   72MB

  • The creation time of the volumes in question is earlier than that of vol0 (SVM root volume).

            ontap98::> volume show -vserver svm1 -fields create-time

vserver      volume create-time
------------ ------ ------------------------

svm1         vol0   Tue Feb 16 08:25:13 2021
svm1         vol1   Wed Mar 09 15:55:17 2018
svm1         vol2   Fri Feb 17 10:53:56 2018
svm1         testvol
