  • ONTAP 9
  • CIFS/SMB
  • Qtrees (With/Without Quota)

Overview

  • A CIFS share is simply a network export path to a volume or qtree. ONTAP does not store "share size" directly
  • A Qtree is a logical subdivision within a volume. ONTAP can track usage for Qtrees if quotas are enabled
  • Without quotas, ONTAP cannot directly report Qtree usage; client-side scans or File System Analytics must be used
