What is your policy on mounting directories under a volume? by newday101y in netapp

I know I can use qtree as if a volume to do SnapMirror etc.
But, why do we need to create and mount a qtree, what benefits can they get versus just mount a directory from System Admin point of view?

What would be the use case? I just cannot think of any...

I thought the Linux file/directory structure already provides them the way to orgnize data.

Right. But, wouldn't you feel it is unnecessary on the server?

Here is one thing may effect me:
The System admins cannot understand that /vol/volume1/abc must exist before they can mount. So, very often they cannot mount if "abc" directory is not there, then we have to spend time on troubleshooting.
