In contrast with traditional volumes, it is possible to create a FlexVol volume that is too small to be used as the root volume. The root volume must have enough space to contain system files, log files, and core files. If a system problem occurs, these files are needed to provide technical support.
Data ONTAP prevents you from setting the root option on a FlexVol volume that is smaller than the minimum root volume size for your storage system model, and prevents you from resizing the root volume below the minimum allowed size.
The minimum size for a root FlexVol volume depends on your storage system model. The following table lists the minimum allowed size for root volumes.
A root FlexVol volume must have a space guarantee of volume. Data ONTAP prevents you from setting the root option on a FlexVol volume that does not have a space guarantee of volume, and prevents you from changing the space guarantee for the root volume.
