How to use thin provisioning?
1. Create a file system with thin provisioning turned ON. The Size option will be grey out.
Because the upper size limit is the available size of the storage pool, there is no quota size or
reserved size.
2. Check the network drive property. The size is the remaining pool size. So it’s dynamic.
3. Copy some files to the share. There is no pre-allocated space (reserved size). The used size
reflects just the exact amount of the files being copied.
Compression
The following are the compression features:
Compression algorithm adopts LZJB.
Applied to both file system and volume.
Compression can be turned ON and OFF on the fly during I/O.
How to use compression with shares?
1. For example, create a file system of 20MB with compression turned ON.
2. Map the share in Windows as a network drive. And check the drive property.
3. Copy several bitmap files that are over the size of 20MB.
