I have a 1.31 TB volume that is 90% full.  There are two solutions I have available to me.  One is to try to reduce the amount of space on the volume (but meeting resistance by users).  The other is to add space.  I am trying to get approval for another TB of disk space, but I don't think the best solution is to add it to the existing QTree.  My backup window for this volume is 14 -15 hours currently and would only get bigger if I add space and that is not acceptable.  I know I can another qtree / cifs share but I was hoping I could do it in such a way that I would still have another Qtree but make it available to the user via a single CIFS Share.

 

Currently

/vol/vol1/creative is the qtree

and I have a cifs share (called creative) pointing to /vol/vol1/creative, so the users connect to \\server\creative (or for the Macs) smb://server/creative

I was hoping I could add another volume, probably /vol/vol2 with a qtree called /vol/vol2/active clients and some how make it appear to the user as a subdirectory under \\server\creative

 

This is probably confusing, so please ask any questions.
