Some UNIX versions of the df command have file system limits considerably smaller than the file system size supported by the filer. This can cause the UNIX df command to show an incorrect and useless amount of filer disk space in use or remaining. However, the disk space you installed in your filer is fully available and you can use it.
To avoid a useless display of disk space on a client system that uses NFS version 2, enable the nfs.v2.df_2gb_lim option, as described in "Configuring filer options." For additional information, refer to the na_options(1) man page.
Some DOS, Windows, or Macintosh clients might have a display problem similar to UNIX systems; in these cases, enable the nfs.v2.df_2gb_lim option.
At all times, the df command entered on the filer correctly shows the amount of disk space used and remaining.
If a directory in a qtree is mounted and a client issues a df command on something under that mount point, the command shows the smaller of the client's file system limit or the filer disk space. This makes the qtree look fuller according to the client df command than it actually is.
The filer quota report command shows the correct usage within that qtree.
