I created a 100TB volume using CIFS protocol but I want a share to have at least 500 to 600TB. How can this be achieved and how would I get this CIFS share to show up in windows OS?</P> <P> </P> <P>Thanks!</P> Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:55:31 GMT Riaad 2025-06-04T10:55:31Z Disk Size https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Hardware/Disk-Size/m-p/159084#M10324 <P><a href="https://community.netapp.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/67570">@SpindleNinja</a>  hi there, I am curious to know if you have any knowledge on how to set up NetApp volume to go pass 100Tb.
