If somebody wants to use the flexclone volume (QOS applied), the juntionpaths of both volumes are different. QOS is not really applied to physical data blocks hence&nbsp;It does not effect the source volume performance.</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>Hope this help.</DIV><DIV>Renifa.</DIV> Fri, 30 Oct 2015 10:49:59 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/QOS-on-clones/m-p/112007#M23716 Renifa 2015-10-30T10:49:59Z
