Hello,
we have a 8-node FASxxxx cluster with ONTAP 9.7P5.
One thick-provisioned volume had snapshots and deduplication set up.
The command
volume show-footprint
shows a "Temporary Deduplication" quota which goes over the size planned for that volume. I thus disabled deduplication (which benefits where lower than this temporary quota) but "Temporary Deduplication" is still there...
I read that this temporary quota may get "trapped" into snapshots, so I waited until snapshots became newer than the date I removed deduplication... but still "Temporary Deduplication" is there wasting 1,4TB of space.
How can I delete this useless temporary quota?
Thank you in advance.
