NetApp: Unable to resize volume - error: Volume has the fixed filesystem size option set

Sometimes you are unable to resize a NetApp volume.  Usually this is because the volume used to be a snapmirror destination, and it was broken off - but it also could have been some cursed sysadmin that preceded you.  At any rate, when you attempt to resize the volume, you're given this error:

"Volume has the fixed filesystem size option set."

Well, NetApp doesn't have a checkbox for that in the GUI.  But, you should be using the command line anyway :)

Here is the command to fix it:

Cluster Mode:

cluster::> volume modify -filesys-size-fixed false -volume <volumename>

7-Mode:

vol options <volumename> fs_size_fixed off

  1. You need to add the vserver command to the latest version.

    cluster::> volume modify -filesys-size-fixed false -volume -vserver
