This sunday I upgraded our production FAS940 from 6.5.3 to 7.0 and noticed NFS clients are reporting the user or group quota as the volume size and free space when running df, when 6.5.3 and earlier used to report the qtree quota. I was suprised by this change and so far have been told by NetApp that it is a bug fix, not a bug. Just wanted to send a heads up to the list to let people know, and wondering if anyone else was affected negatively by this. I like part of the idea of the change but was not expecting it at all. Didn't see it in docs. Its interesting but inappropriate for some of our volumes the way we have quotas setup, and it prevents non-admins from seeing if the volume or qtree is nearing full.
