lun offline due to size vs volume

Lplatform — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 19:52:04 GMT

Hi,

one of our LUN has been brought offline due to lack of space on the volume, we have no snapshop space reservation, but lun used size is slightly bigger than lun size / volume: how can this happen? a lun used size going over lun defined size

lun show:

hi,

when u set lun size, it's the space user can use. but all luns need prefix and suffix, and wafl needs space to put all the structure of this big lun file as well.

hopefully helps

thanks
