Although resizing quotas is faster, you must do a full quota reinitialization if you make certain small or extensive changes to your quotas.
A full quota reinitialization is necessary in the following circumstances:
-
You create a quota for a target that has not previously had a quota (neither an explicit quota nor one derived from a default quota).
-
You change the security style of a qtree from UNIX to either mixed or NTFS.
-
You change the security style of a qtree from mixed or NTFS to UNIX.
-
You remove users from a quota target with multiple users, or add users to a target that already has multiple users.
-
You make extensive changes to your quotas.
Suppose you have a volume that contains three qtrees and the only quotas in the volume are three explicit tree quotas. You decide to make the following changes:
-
Add a new qtree and create a new tree quota for it.
-
Add a default user quota for the volume.
Both of these changes require a full quota initialization. Resizing does not make the quotas effective.
