Hi All,

It is strange i have snapvaulted my volume which is 2.27TB under which i have 14 Qtrees , I don understand once after i have started the initial transfer it failed in the middle showing error NO SPACE LEFT ON THE DEVICE but i have created a volume of 2.40TB in the destination filer dont know what happened once the initial transfer finished the SECONDARY VOLUME become around (As it failed several number of time in the middle i have to keep on adding space )  3.76TB can anybody tell why this has happened is this a bug else due to version difference ??

Hi Nayab  ,

See the snapvault volume has fractional reserve set to 100 . No need of this reserve  remove it and then start vaulting

your primary qtree's to this destination  .Hope this will resolve your issue .

thanks

Ashwin
