Resizing a quota applies all updated entries in the /etc/quotas file. However, in resizing a quota, Data ONTAP will generally ignore newly added entries. A newly added entry will take effect only if the corresponding user or group has an active quota as a result of updating a file subject to default quotas.

To resize quotas for a selected volume, complete the following steps:

1. Ensure that quotas are enabled for the volume(s) for which you want to resize quotas.

2. Select the check box next to each volume for which you want to resize quotas.

3. Click Resize.
