  3. Configure auto-expansion.
    You can configure file system auto-expansion at the storage pool level as follows:
    • Enable auto-expansion

      Even if the storage pool is configured to allow its file systems to automatically expand, the file systems must also be configured to support automatic expansion. After a file system has expanded, its size cannot be reduced.

      If file system auto-expansion is currently disabled, you can enable it by clicking enable auto-expansion in the FS Auto-Expansion option box.

    • Disable auto-expansion

      When automatic expansion of a file system is disabled, manual expansion of file systems in the storage pool is still possible.

      If file system auto-expansion is currently enabled, you can disable it by clicking disable auto-expansion in the FS Auto-Expansion option box.
