ONTAP 9.13.1 commands

The volume file reservation command can be used to query the space reservation settings for the named file, or to modify those settings. With no further modifiers, the command will report the current setting of the space reservation flag for a file. This tells whether or not space is reserved to fill holes in the file and to overwrite existing portions of the file that are also stored in a snapshot. For symlinks, the link is followed and the command operates on the link target.

The following example enables the file reservation setting for the file named file1. The file file1 is stored in volume testvol on Vserver vs0.
