It is not possible to shrink the volumes by pulling out the disks. You can use qtrees instead of volumes if you dont need seperate snapshot policies.
Netapp recommends adding new disk space when a volume becomes 85-90% full. -----Original Message----- From: owner-toasters@mathworks.com [mailto:owner-toasters@mathworks.com] On Behalf Of frank marxs Sent: Thursday, April 17, 2003 9:15 PM To: toasters@mathworks.com Subject: Shrkinking volume on filer
I heard someone tell me that if I had a volume with lots of extra space I could pull a drive from that volume and use it to grow an other volume which was full....
I know we can grow a volume by adding a drive on a filer, but I haven't heard of the possibility of shrinking a volume by pulling a drive.
Did I miss something or is this a new feature?
BTW: Anyone seen a drop in performance after growing a volume which was almost full?
Cheers Frank
