Hi Fletcher,

can you run `aggr show_space –h`, then wait 10 minutes and run it again?

You should at least immediately see which volume is causing the growth if the growth is still happening.

Best,

Betreff: Determining what's contributing to fast aggregate growth

Hi all,

In the last 36 hours or so we have a 19Tb aggregate that is growing above 18Tb used.

Usually the aggregate used level only grows if we grow its volumes.

This is different - I was forced to delete snapshots and shrink volumes to get it back under 90%.

And in the last 3 hours its back above 91% - used level is climbing 5-10g/minute

I so far can not see where the growth is coming from,

Aggr snapshot is OFF

Ontap 8.1.2

thanks for any tips!
