FS_SETVOL(1) AFS Command Reference FS_SETVOL(1)NAMEfs_setvol - Set quota and messages for a volume containing a file or
directory
SYNOPSIS
fs setvol [-path <dir/file path>+]
[-max <disk space quota in 1K units>]
[-offlinemsg <offline message>] [-help]
fs setv [-p <dir/file path>+]
[-ma <disk space quota in 1K units>]
[-o <offline message>] [-h]
fs sv [-p <dir/file path>+]
[-ma <disk space quota in 1K units>]
[-o <offline message>] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
The fs setvol command sets the quota (maximum possible size) of the
read/write volume that contains each directory or file named by the
-path argument. To associate a message with the volume which then
appears in the output of the fs examine command, include the
-offlinemsg argument.
To display all of the settings made with this command, use the fs
examine command. The fs listquota command reports a fileset's quota,
and the fs quota command the percent of quota used.
To set quota on one volume at a time, use the fs setquota command.
CAUTIONS
Currently, the maximum quota for a volume is 2 terabytes (2^41 bytes).
Note that this only affects the volume's quota; a volume may grow much
larger if the volume quota is disabled. However, volumes over 2
terabytes in size may be impractical to move, and may have their size
incorrectly reported by some tools, such as fs_listquota(1).
OPTIONS-path <dir/file path>+
Names each file or directory for which to set the host volume's
quota and offline message. Partial pathnames are interpreted
relative to the current working directory, which is also the
default value if this argument is omitted.
Specify the read/write path to the file or directory, to avoid the
failure that results from attempting to change a read-only volume.
By convention, the read/write path is indicated by placing a period
before the cell name at the pathname's second level (for example,
/afs/.abc.com). For further discussion of the concept of read/write
and read-only paths through the filespace, see the fs mkmount
reference page.
-max <disk space quota in 1K units>
Sets the maximum amount of file server disk space the volume can
occupy. Provide a positive integer to indicate the number of one-
kilobyte blocks (1024 is one megabyte). A value of 0 sets an
unlimited quota, but the size of the disk partition that houses the
volume places an absolute limit on the volume's size.
If the -path argument is omitted (so that the command sets the
quota of the volume housing the current working directory), the
-max switch must be provided.
-offlinemsg
Associates a message with the volume which then appears in the
output of the fs examine command. Its intended use is to explain
why the volume is currently offline.
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
are ignored.
EXAMPLES
The following command imposes a 6500 kilobyte quota on the volumes
mounted at the home directories /afs/abc.com/usr/smith and
/afs/abc.com/usr/pat:
% cd /afs/abc.com/usr
% fs setvol -path smith pat -max 6500B<>
PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must belong to the system:administrators group.
