difference between filesystem size and volume size
Hi All,
Does anybody know why size is diferent between the nas_fs -size and nas_volume -size ? Or this question does not make sense ?
# nas_fs -i file_system_name
id = 776
name = file_system_name
volume = v627
auto_ext = hwm=90%,max_size=3276800M (reached),thin=no
disks = d89,d37,d101,d49
# nas_fs -size file_system_name
total = 3226800 avail = 947597 used = 2279203 ( 71% ) (sizes in MB) ( blockcount = 6710886400 )
volume: total = 3276800 (sizes in MB) ( blockcount = 6710886400 ) avail = 947597 used = 2329203 ( 71% )
# nas_volume -info v627
id = 627
name = v627
acl = 0
in_use = True
type = meta
volume_set = s164,v3998,v4000,v4016,v4026,v4030,v4032,v4034,v4038,v4108,v4134,v4142,v4212,v4214,v5097,v5101,v5105,v5123,v5474,v5476,v6176,v6404,v7444,v7648,v7650,v7656,v7681
disks = d89,d37,d101,d49
# nas_volume -size v627
total = 3276800 avail = 0 used = 3276800 ( 100% ) (sizes in MB)
File system size shows total = 3226800 avail = 947597 used = 2279203 while nas_volume shows total = 3276800 avail = 0 used = 3276800 ( 100% ) (sizes in MB).
where is located available space reported on nas_fs -size output ? I have checked all volumes and they have nothing in availabe space. Maybe, the space is tottaly allocated to filesystem, and nas_fs -size reads information from filesystem metadata instead of reads from volumes.
This question is just a curiosity about how the nas_fs command build the ouptut. We are investigating some problems with filesystem checkpoints and savvol utilization. We already found that the filesystem has high writes and modification which requires a lot of space on savvol to refreshes ckpts.
Thanks in advance for replies.

As the names imply nas_fs looks at the free/used space inside the fs where nas_volume looks at the raw volume

There is no difference in your example between the nas_fs -size output (regarding the volume size) and the nas_volume -size output.
Both are reporting the size of the volume as 3276800 MB

nas_fs -size is reporting a volume of 3276800 MB for a FS of 3226800 MB
