24 The B<vos create> command creates a read/write volume with the name
25 specified by the B<-name> argument at the site specified by the B<-server>
26 and B<-partition> arguments. In addition, the command allocates or sets
33 Volume ID numbers for the read/write volume and its associated read-only
34 and backup volumes (this command does not actually create the latter two
35 types of volume). A volume ID number is an identification number
36 guaranteed to be unique within a cell.
40 An access control list (ACL) associated with the volume's root directory,
41 which takes the same name as volume's mount point when the volume is
42 mounted with the B<fs mkmount> command. An entry that grants all seven
43 permissions to the members of the system:administrators group is
44 automatically placed on the ACL. (In addition, the File Server by default
45 always implicitly grants the C<l> (lookup) and C<a> (administer)
46 permissions on every ACL to members of the system:administrators group,
47 even when the group does not appear on an ACL; use the B<-implicit>
48 argument to the B<fileserver> initialization command to alter the set of
49 rights on a server-by-server basis if desired.)
53 The volume's space quota, set to 5000 kilobyte blocks by default. Use the
54 B<-maxquota> argument to specify a different quota, or use the B<fs
55 setquota> command to change the volume's quota after mounting the volume
56 with the B<fs mkmount> command.
60 The volume is empty when created. To access it via the Cache Manager,
61 mount it in the file space by using the B<fs mkmount> command.
67 =item B<-server> <I<server name>>
69 Identifies the file server machine on which to create the read/write
70 volume. Provide the machine's IP address or its host name (either fully
71 qualified or using an unambiguous abbreviation). For details, see
74 =item B<-partition> <I<partition name>>
76 Identifies the partition on which to create the read/write volume, on the
77 file server machine specified by the B<-server> argument. Provide the
78 partition's complete name with preceding slash (for example, C</vicepa>)
79 or use one of the three acceptable abbreviated forms. For details, see
82 =item B<-name> <I<volume name>>
84 Specifies a name for the read/write volume. The maximum length is 22
85 characters, which can include any alphanumeric or punctuation
86 character. By convention, periods separate the fields in a name. Do not
87 apply the C<.backup> or C<.readonly> extension to a read/write volume
88 name; they are reserved for the Volume Server to add to the read/write
89 name when creating those backup and read-only volumes respectively.
91 =item B<-maxquota> <I<volume quota>>
93 Specifies the maximum amount of disk space the volume can use, as a number
94 of kilobyte blocks (a value of C<1024> is one megabyte). The value C<0>
95 (zero) grants an unlimited quota, but the size of the disk partition that
96 houses the volume places an absolute limit on its size. If this argument
97 is omitted, the default value is C<5000>.
99 =item B<-cell> <I<cell name>>
101 Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument
102 with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see L<vos(1)>.
106 Assigns the unprivileged identity C<anonymous> to the issuer. Do not
107 combine this flag with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see
112 Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
113 F</usr/afs/etc/KeyFile> file. The B<vos> command interpreter presents it
114 to the Volume Server and Volume Location Server during mutual
115 authentication. Do not combine this flag with the B<-cell> argument or
116 B<-noauth> flag. For more details, see L<vos(1)>.
120 Produces on the standard output stream a detailed trace of the command's
121 execution. If this argument is omitted, only warnings and error messages
126 Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are
133 The Volume Server produces the following message to confirm that it
136 Volume <volume_ID> created on partition <partition_name> of <machine_name>
140 The following command creates the read/write volume C<user.pat> on the
141 F</vicepf> partition of the file server machine C<fs4.abc.com>.
143 % vos create -server fs4.abc.com -partition /vicepf -name user.pat
144 Volume user.pat created on partition /vicepf of fs4.abc.com
146 =head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
148 The issuer must be listed in the F</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file on the
149 machine specified with the B<-server> argument and on each database server
150 machine. If the B<-localauth> flag is included, the issuer must instead be
151 logged on to a server machine as the local superuser C<root>.
