Is volume option 'maxdirsize' modification via API supported?

enyang — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 22:28:21 GMT

Other volume option modification was successful by zedi but ‘maxdirsize’. Do we support to do that by API? or other automatic measures?

Env:

DOT 8.2.2 7-Mode

SDK 5.4P1

Thanks for your reply. May I know your DOT version? I can do that on DOT 8.1 but failure to do that on DOT8.2. Do you have any advise?

I got following prompt from storage console while the API issued. It seems that DOT8.2 added an interaction to get confirm the maxdirsize modification. Do you think I can achieve this automatic modification by someway.

tested on NetApp Release 8.1.4P6 7-Mode: Sat Oct 11 19:53:35 PDT 2014.

I don't have systems with more recent version to check.
