 # Resize a capacity pool or a volume
 You can change the size of a capacity pool or a volume as necessary, for example, when a volume or capacity pool fills up. 
 
 For information about monitoring a volume’s capacity, see [Monitor the capacity of a volume](monitor-volume-capacity.md).
 
+## Considerations
+
+* Volume quotas are indexed against `maxfiles` limits. Once a volume has surpassed a `maxfiles` limit, you cannot reduce the volume size below the quota that corresponds to that `maxfiles` limit. For more information and specific limits, see [`maxfiles` limits](azure-netapp-files-resource-limits.md#maxfiles-limits-).

 ## Resize the capacity pool using the Azure portal 
 
 You can change the capacity pool size in 1-TiB increments or decrements. However, the capacity pool size cannot be smaller than the sum of the capacity of the volumes hosted in the pool, with a minimum of 4TiB. Resizing the capacity pool changes the purchased Azure NetApp Files capacity.

-If you have allocated at least 4 TiB of quota for a volume, you can initiate a support request to increase the maxfiles (inodes) limit beyond 106,255,630. For every 106,255,630 files you increase (or a fraction thereof), you need to increase the corresponding volume quota by 4 TiB. For example, if you increase the maxfiles limit from 106,255,630 files to 212,511,260 files (or any number in between), you need to increase the volume quota from 4 TiB to 8 TiB.
