Problem

Our alerting system notified us that inodes were nearing the system limit on a CIFS share (aka unipod_cifs) on a FAS running ONTap 9

 

Solution

The following command will shiow current usage

syntax

volume show  {cifs_name} -fields files, files-used

command 

volume show unipod_cifs -fields files, files-used

 

 

To increase the inodes use the following syntax

volume modify -vserver  {cifs_name}  modify {cifs_name} - files {value}

In this example I will increase the cifs share to 25 million.

volume modify -vserver  unipod_cifs modify unipod_cifs - files 25000000
