Nope, you're not wrong. I got a reply from NetApp and this is the case. Was just hoping 6.1R1 maybe made miracles possible...

What about making a top level directory into a qtree after data is already stored?

For example, I have /vol/vol0/scratch but scratch was not originally created as a qtree. Can I make it one without having to create a new qtree and then move all the data from one dir to another?

Thanks.

You can simply mv(1) the directory that represents the qtree to it's new name.
