Reinitializing Quota's, how does it affect my storage?

Hi,

 

We created about 30 qtree's on one volume, and on top of those 30 qtree's 30 quota's, all hard size quota's. When i wanted to change the quota type from 'hard size' to 'soft size' i noticed a lot of quota's wheren't activated at all, because there was never a quota reinitialization done.

In the system manager where the Deactivate and Activate buttons for the volume can be found, i see about 30 messages like 'quota: skipping new definition for .....'.

 

What happens if i deactivate and reactivate the quota's on this volume? Will it cause high load on the storage box? Is it possible the CIFS shares become inaccessable for a couple of seconds or will there be absolutely no high-load and interference?

 

Best Regards,

Joris
