qtree & quota in netapp

Applications Filesystems, Disks and Memory

Hi All,

What will exactly happen? if I run "quota off" and "quota on" after removing qtree in a netapp
Due to this any slowness/quota changes will occur for any other qtrees?

Thanks

hi,

performance should not be slower when turning quota off and on
perhaps faster for the short period, because netapp doesn't have to check the quota

if you change a quota for an existing qtree, and turn quota off and on, quota is changed, like using "quota resize"

if you don't change any existing quota, then nothing is changed, why should they change when their quota value in the file hasn't changed

Thanks for your help.

I asked this question to delete a qtree.

I am not able to delete a folder which has many folders and files inside.
Is there any simple way to delete?
I also tried after mounting in windows and unix. But unable to delete due to diffent ownership and permission.

exported via nfs?

then add root=yourunixhost, rw=youunixhost to the exports file and run exportfs /yourfilesystem on the filer

now mount it and you will be able to delete all directories

which security style do you use for the qtree?
