Enter a
Size Limit
for the file system. This defines the maximum size the file system will
grow through Auto-Expansion. This value can be changed on the
File System Details
page once it has been created. This limit is not enforced for manual file system
expansions performed through the CLI.

Set the Auto-expansion Mode:
Be aware that Storage Pools can be configured to prevent the growth of file systems. A
file system can never shrink, no be reduced in size. When expanding, it will use the
Storage Pool’s chunk size as the growth increment. File systems configured to
automatically expand will do so when they approach about 80% of capacity. File systems
can be expanded manually through the CLI. File system expansion does not interrupt
file services or require the file system to be unmounted.

A user must be either a Global Admin or Storage Admin, and must have Advanced Mode
enabled to delete a file system. For more information, see "
User Management
