+Sets the maximum amount of file server disk space the volume can occupy.
+The quota value should be a positive integer followed by an optional
+suffix: C<K> for kibibytes (1024 bytes, the default), C<M> for mebibytes
+(1024 kibibytes), C<G> for gibibytes (1024 mebibytes), and C<T> for
+tebibytes (1024 gibibytes).  A value of C<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.
