The ASIS volume size limits go away in 7.3.1, so if you can get by with the current limits for now, you can grow the volumes later.
This sounds promising. I'll try and confirm with NetApp -- you don't happen to have a NOW document link referencing this in the roadmap by chance do you?
I don't know if there is a limit to the number of ASIS volumes on a filer. I know there are limits to the number of active ASIS processes, but if you hit that, they just run in sequence like when the snapmirror/snapvault concurrent limits are hit.
From what I've found out, it looks like (at least on the FAS2020) we can have 8 simultaneous dedup threads running -- but there is no limit to the number of ASIS enabled volumes.
So, pretty much what you said -- the dedup jobs just get queueed up.
