David,

It looks like you have the correct answer. I created a qtree and empty quota in a volume and the size was the amount of free space since there wasn't any used in the newly created qtree. I'm guessing they set up the empty quota for the accounting purposes.

Thanks,

Jeff

Since the filer has to represent some type of size/quota to your client, it’s just making the ‘Size’ the value of (Qtree Used) + (Volume Available). Over time as more data is written, I would expect that the Size represented in df would eventually show as 2.4T.
