Maxscratch defines how many scratch volumes you can have in a storagepool. When you reach maxscratch, assuming you do not have volumes predefined, you are by definition out of data storage space regardless of how much space is in your filesystem.

However, last night the server claimed it was out of data storage space, but there is 18% of a 14 tb pool free. I checked, and the only limit reached was maxscratch. Is there a good way around this? We want to migrate to server 7.x, but could not get an install failure resolved on RHEL 6.5 for server version 7.1.1. I have increased maxscratch, but this cannot go on indefinitely.
