- <title>Description</title>
- <para>The <emphasis role="bold">vos create</emphasis> command creates a read/write volume with the name
- specified by the <emphasis role="bold">-name</emphasis> argument at the site specified by the <emphasis role="bold">-server</emphasis>
- and <emphasis role="bold">-partition</emphasis> arguments. In addition, the command allocates or sets
- the following:</para>
-
- <itemizedlist>
- <listitem>
- <para>Volume ID numbers for the read/write volume and its associated read-only
- and backup volumes (this command does not actually create the latter two
- types of volume). A volume ID number is an identification number
- guaranteed to be unique within a cell.</para>
-
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>An access control list (ACL) associated with the volume's root directory,
- which takes the same name as volume's mount point when the volume is
- mounted with the <emphasis role="bold">fs mkmount</emphasis> command. An entry that grants all seven
- permissions to the members of the system:administrators group is
- automatically placed on the ACL. (In addition, the File Server by default
- always implicitly grants the <computeroutput>l</computeroutput> (lookup) and <computeroutput>a</computeroutput> (administer)
- permissions on every ACL to members of the system:administrators group,
- even when the group does not appear on an ACL; use the <emphasis role="bold">-implicit</emphasis>
- argument to the <emphasis role="bold">fileserver</emphasis> initialization command to alter the set of
- rights on a server-by-server basis if desired.)</para>
-
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>The volume's space quota, set to 5000 kilobyte blocks by default. Use the
- <emphasis role="bold">-maxquota</emphasis> argument to specify a different quota, or use the <emphasis role="bold">fs
- setquota</emphasis> command to change the volume's quota after mounting the volume
- with the <emphasis role="bold">fs mkmount</emphasis> command.</para>
-
- </listitem>
- </itemizedlist>
- <para>The volume is empty when created. To access it via the Cache Manager,
- mount it in the file space by using the <emphasis role="bold">fs mkmount</emphasis> command.</para>

- <variablelist>
- <varlistentry>
- <term><emphasis role="bold">-server</emphasis> <<emphasis>server name</emphasis>></term>
- <listitem>
- <para>Identifies the file server machine on which to create the read/write

- <listitem>
- <para>Identifies the partition on which to create the read/write volume, on the
- file server machine specified by the <emphasis role="bold">-server</emphasis> argument. Provide the
- partition's complete name with preceding slash (for example, <computeroutput>/vicepa</computeroutput>)
- or use one of the three acceptable abbreviated forms. For details, see
- <link linkend="vos1">vos(1)</link>.</para>
-

- <varlistentry>
- <term><emphasis role="bold">-name</emphasis> <<emphasis>volume name</emphasis>></term>
- <listitem>
- <para>Specifies a name for the read/write volume. The maximum length is 22
- characters, which can include any alphanumeric or punctuation
- character. By convention, periods separate the fields in a name. Do not
- apply the <computeroutput>.backup</computeroutput> or <computeroutput>.readonly</computeroutput> extension to a read/write volume
- name; they are reserved for the Volume Server to add to the read/write
- name when creating those backup and read-only volumes respectively.</para>

- </listitem>
- </varlistentry>
- <varlistentry>
- <term><emphasis role="bold">-maxquota</emphasis> <<emphasis>volume quota</emphasis>></term>
- <listitem>
- <para>Specifies the maximum amount of disk space the volume can use, as a number
- of kilobyte blocks (a value of <computeroutput>1024</computeroutput> is one megabyte). The value <computeroutput>0</computeroutput>
- (zero) grants an unlimited quota, but the size of the disk partition that
- houses the volume places an absolute limit on its size. If this argument
- is omitted, the default value is <computeroutput>5000</computeroutput>.</para>

- <listitem>
- <para>Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local

- to the Volume Server and Volume Location Server during mutual
