I *think* this may be due to the number and length of filenames that can be stored in a directory block?
Netapps store filenames as unicode characters, so each character is 2 bytes. if the other box doesn't support unicode, then the directorys would be 1/2 the size. (Assuming filenames >12 chars -- I think the netapp limit is 127 12 unicode (24 byte) filenmes in a 4k dir block)
Am I way off base here?
Thank you, that makes more sense. However if this is to hold true the inode numbers must double in size as well. I should check whether the inode number size differs between the two boxes. Would anyone from NetApp care to comment?
