Don't know about your first question..

But just a few days ago, both of my F760c were constantly 100% CPU usage. Accessing files was really slow. Both home folder (MS clients) volume on each of Filer was at 92% capacity. Expanded the volume (added 6 drives). CPU usage is now around 60% on both Filers. You won't see the performance improvements right away because it takes a while for the new disk to even out with the existing ones. It took about 4 hours before I see any performance gain. Be careful not to add too few disks causing the new disks to be 'hot'.

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?
