Hi All,

Is there anyway to find which vfiler is using a particular volume.If I know vfiler name then I can find the resources used by that particular vfiler by running vfiler status -r command likewise if I have the volume name how to find the vfiler,which uses that particular volume?

From the vol status there is no way since vfiler0 can see all volumes for backup, mirroring, vaulting, etc. vfiler status -a or -r will show from the vfiler view. You could also run "vfiler run * vol status" and get a volume listing for all vfilers including vfiler0, then parse the output.

Hi you could also switch to the vfiler context for the named vfiler running.. ie "vfiler context XXXXX" and run a vol status.. although this could be a time consuming process if you had a number to check.

'qtree status -v <vol_name>' is your friend...

😉

Excellent response... -v is a good one
