2040 CIFs maximums

[Willybobs27]

I've been unable to find out what the maximum size of a single Cifs share is on a 2040? Also the number of individual files supported?

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

[peter_lehmann]

The maximum will not be per cifs share. It is much more per volume or directory and depending on the Ontap Version as well... Could you be more specific?

[Willybobs27]

OnTap 7.3.x though could use 8.0.7 mode if required.

New file so can carve up as required.

[peter_lehmann]

In 7.3.x you have the imitation of 99'998 directories per subdirectory, which has been lifted with Ontap 8.1.

Then depending on the size of the volume you have a setting of maximum inode entries (which can be adjusted with the "maxfiles" command)...

And the usual storage limits which a FAS2040 has... They can be found in the "System Configuration Guides" on NOW.

BTW

the cifs limits of the fas2040 are:

Max nr. of connections = 44'000

Max nr. of shares = 88'000

Max nr. of share connections = 176'000

Max nr. of open files = 880'000

Max nr. of locked files = 970'112

Max nr. of locks = 1'940'224

So I can have a 4TB volume with a single CIFs share using all the space?

Though I don't think de-dupe will work beyond 2TB

[peter_lehmann]

If you run the System with 8.0.2, you can have the 4TB volume and dedupe it. So go for Ontap 8.

[thomas_glodde]

With Ontap 8.0.1 and beyond you can dedup up to 16TB.
