How qtree changes affect quotas
When you delete, rename, or change the security style of a qtree, the quotas applied by Data ONTAP might change, depending on the current quotas being applied.
- How deleting a qtree affects tree quotas
When you delete a qtree, all quotas applicable to that qtree, whether they are explicit or derived, are no longer applied by Data ONTAP.
- How renaming a qtree affects quotas
When you rename a qtree, its ID does not change. As a result, all quotas applicable to the qtree, whether they are explicit or derived, continue to be applicable, without reinitializing quotas. Before you reinitialize quotas, you must update the quotas file with the new qtree name.
- How changing the security style of a qtree affects user quotas
ACLs apply in qtrees using NTFS or mixed security style, but not in qtrees using UNIX security style. Therefore, changing the security style of a qtree might affect how quotas are calculated. You should always reinitialize quotas after you change the security style of a qtree
