cDOT cluster share limit (cifs NFS) 8.3

JGPSHNTAP — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 23:41:33 GMT

Regardless of node count, what's the cluster share / export rule limit

Is it Cifs 40K or no?

NfS 12,000?

IS that right?

Hi,

The maximum number of NFS export rules depends on the size of the cluster.

For Large sized clusters (24 nodes) : 140,000

For Medium (8 nodes) and small (4 nodes):70,000

Maximum number of regular shares for CIFS(does not apply to dynamic shares created using the home directory feature):40,000 for Large, medium and small sized clusters.

Thanks

Is it possible to share the source of documentation, where these limits came from?

I just find some posts in the community with different values listed.

Thanks
