We use applications that write a large number of files to a directory. Does the Maxdirsize apply to each directory or to the entire volume? For example, if I have a maxdirsize of 164 MB, does that mean that only applies to that directory? In other words, I can have more directories in the same volume and they would still have to reach 164 MB depending on inodes? Our question is... if a CIFS folder in a volume is reaching maxdirsize, can I move the items to another folder in the same volume? Any clarification on this would be appreciated. Thanks.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:39:23 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/Network-and-Storage-Protocols/NetApp-Filer-and-MaxDirSize/m-p/79197#M7149 lcjr10000 2025-06-05T06:39:23Z Re: NetApp Filer and MaxDirSize https://community.netapp.com/t5/Network-and-Storage-Protocols/NetApp-Filer-and-MaxDirSize/m-p/79203#M7152 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Please refer to <A href="https://kb.netapp.com/support/index?page=content&amp;id=3011562" title="https://kb.netapp.com/support/index?page=content&amp;id=3011562" target="_blank">https://kb.netapp.com/support/index?page=content&amp;id=3011562</A></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 16 Dec 2011 21:36:50 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/Network-and-Storage-Protocols/NetApp-Filer-and-MaxDirSize/m-p/79203#M7152 baijulal 2011-12-16T21:36:50Z
