7-mode/HA pair/V-Series : Qtrees : Understanding qtrees : What a qtree is
What a qtree is
A qtree is a logically defined file system that can exist as a special subdirectory of the root directory within either a traditional volume or a flexible volume. You can create up to 4995 qtrees per volume. There is no maximum for the storage system as a whole. You can easily create qtrees for managing and partitioning your data within the volume.
In general, qtrees are similar to volumes. However, they have the following key differences:
•
Snapshot copies can be enabled or disabled for individual volumes but not for individual qtrees.
•
Qtrees do not support space reservations or space guarantees.
There are no restrictions on how much disk space can be used by the qtree or how many files can exist in the qtree.
