We recently upgraded to 5.3.5R2P2. In the release notes in the section "New features of Data ONTAP 5.3.4" I saw this under "Quota Features":
You can now create a default tree quota that applies to any qtree that does not have an entry in /etc/quotas or any qtree that is created after the default tree quota goes into effect.
I couldn't find this documented anywhere in the man pages or the Sys Admin Guide. So I went ahead and put this entry in /etc/quotas, just guessing the syntax:
* tree 99M 99K
I ran "quota off h2" and "quota on h2" and got no complaints.
We recently created a new qtree and added this entry for it in /etc/quotas
/vol/h2/t15 tree 1000M 1000K
When I ran "quota resize h2" it complained about this new entry.
So then I tried this, figuring the default quota might be a per volume thing:
/vol/h2/* tree 99M 99K
But the quota command didn't accept it, saying "/vol/h2/*: no such file or directory".
So I guess this feature isn't there yet. If I'm just not doing it right, could someone tell me how?
