https://community.netapp.com/t5/General-Discussion/convert-think-provisioned-CIFS-volume-to-thick/m-p/147840#M390 <P>I have a 1.3TB thin provisioned CIFS volume with 340GB free. I want to convert it to thick provsioned and have enough space on the aggr. I'm running 8.3.2. Is it as easy as unchecking 'Thin Provision' in the Edit vol option? Should I expect any downtime or performance degredation?</P> Wed, 04 Jun 2025 12:38:52 GMT Silverfuel 2025-06-04T12:38:52Z https://community.netapp.com/t5/General-Discussion/convert-think-provisioned-CIFS-volume-to-thick/m-p/147840#M390 <P>I have a 1.3TB thin provisioned CIFS volume with 340GB free.
