Quotas are always disabled on a mirror, regardless of whether quotas are enabled on the source volume. If you try to enable quotas on a mirror, the filer generates an error message.
After you convert a mirror to a regular volume, you can enable quotas on it.
However, if the former mirror and the source volume reside on different filers, they might be under the effect of different quota restrictions because there is one /etc/quotas file for each filer. If you want the same quota restrictions to be applied on both volumes, make sure that the filer on which the former mirror resides has a /etc/quotas file containing all entries from the /etc/quotas file used by the source volume.
Refer to "Converting a mirror to a regular volume" for information about changing the status of a mirror.
