Netapp recommends that you keep the fileysystems at 80% or less. Otherwise, WAFL starts to work very hard finding places to put data, and you'll see CPU spikes, High disk utilization, and degraded performance.

This is my first time posting Â... I just inherited 2 older filers. 840 and 960 models
Unfortunately they didnÂ't come with nearly enough disk space for our needs.
I know I canÂ't fill the volumes to 100% and expect them to work Â... but how high can I fill the volumes and expect it to work and performance not to sufferÂ.... Can I go to 95% if I turn off snapshots?
Any feedback or experience from filers at 95% would be appreciated Â... IÂ'm hoping to learn from other peopleÂ's mistakes this time.
Of course thereÂ's always the option of buying more disk Â... but for now I need to see what I can do with what we've been given without spending more money.
Cheers Philip
