Hi,
Just a little curious, if the filer uses 4K block sizes, why does my sysconfig -r output imply 2K?
eg:
marvin> sysconfig -r Volume corp
RAID group 0
RAID Disk HA.ID HA SHELF BAY CHAN Used (MB/blks) Phys (MB/blks) --------- ----- ------------ ---- -------------- -------------- parity 5.1 5 0 1 FC:A 8600/17612800 8683/17783112 data 5.2 5 0 2 FC:A 8600/17612800 8683/17783112
If I divide the Used blocks (17612800) by the MB (8600) I get 2048.
Cheers,

I don't have a handy pointer, and it's too early for me to think clearly enough to find one. Did they go from 2KB to 4KB? This would be explained by block size in the respective filesystems. In most filesystems directories use whole blocks, so directory sizes are multiples of block sizes. Filers use 4KB blocks, so directory sizes on filers are multiples of 4KB.

Could someone point me to a piece of documentation which explains why the directory files double in size between say Auspex and the NetApp?
One of my users is complaining that now that we moved his directory all of the directory files doubled in size overnight.
