As I recall, NetApp limits you to 100 (or is it 200?) FlexVols total. Though that might be per-aggregate. And traditional volumes are less than that, since they take up two slots, one for the private aggregate, and one for the volume itself.
But you have upto 4995 qtrees per-volume.
My question would be why not use qtrees instead of volumes?
In any case, 20-30 flex vols isn't a big deal.
