Hi All, I get the iused value with 101 on SAN, the number will not increase or decrease.
Is this number a default?

I think the number will only change if you change the size of the LUN, or if space reservation is off, with the amount of data written to the LUN. LUNs are stored as special files inside ONTAP so will use a small number of inodes

@gleaming raptor The number doesn't change when resizing the LUN.
I suppose this is a default number?

Probably!

#

I’ve never really looked into before

@gleaming raptor Cause I cannot find any document related to the number "101"

Is there a particular reason to care? 🙂 inode exhaustion isn’t going to be an issue

df -i shows inodes, so basically the number of files in your volume. This means unless you add or remove LUNs in a volume, the number will never change. It doesn't depend on the size of the files/LUNs at all

#

every volume has around 100 "reserved" inodes (for metadata things). df -i shows that, plus whatever number of files you put in the volume
