* The output of the following command (in the Expert mode) shows that the logs are taking more than 1 TB of disk space:

  `mdsenv ; for DMS in $(mdsstat | grep CMA | cut -f 3 -d "|") ; do mdsenv ${DMS} ; du -sh $FWDIR/log/ ; done`

## Cause

Multi-Domain environments with log volumes exceeding 1 TB have not been tested and may encounter performance issues or unexpected behavior during migration.
