Hi.. I got an error when I tried to enable the new granular data files option in 9.16.1RC1... I can understand that this is a SVM option... so if you for some reason mix your CIFS and NFS and VMWare datastores in one SVM, you will apparently not be able to enable this? This is just an ISO datastore which is shared by both CIFS and NFS (makes it easy to copy ISOs)... But what is vStorage over NFS? And what is the implications of disabling it? We have moved all workloads to NVMe now, so we only have this one ISO datastore as NFS mounted...
#FlexGroup granular data files cannot be enabled on volumes with vStorage over NFS...

You need to disable NFS VAAI, it's for offloading certain operations.

I don't think there is much value for it when it's only a datastore for ISOs.
vserver nfs modify -vstorage disabled

Ahh the good old VAAI, almost forgot about that 😉 thanks.
