=head1 DESCRIPTION

The B<fs setvol> command sets the quota (maximum possible size) of the
read/write volume that contains each directory or file named by the
B<-path> argument. To associate a message with the volume which then
appears in the output of the B<fs examine> command, include the
B<-offlinemsg> argument.

To display all of the settings made with this command, use the B<fs
examine> command. The B<fs listquota> command reports a fileset's quota,
and the B<fs quota> command the percent of quota used.

To set quota on one volume at a time, use the B<fs setquota> command.

=head1 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 L<fs_listquota(1)>.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 4

=item B<-path> <I<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, F</afs/.abc.com>). For
further discussion of the concept of read/write and read-only paths
through the filespace, see the B<fs mkmount> reference page.

=item B<-max> <I<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 (C<1024> is one megabyte). 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.

If the B<-path> argument is omitted (so that the command sets the quota of
the volume housing the current working directory), the B<-max> switch must
be provided.

=item B<-offlinemsg>

Associates a message with the volume which then appears in the output of
the B<fs examine> command. Its intended use is to explain why the volume
is currently offline.

=item B<-help>

Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are
ignored.

=head1 EXAMPLES

The following command imposes a 6500 kilobyte quota on the volumes mounted
at the home directories F</afs/abc.com/usr/smith> and
F</afs/abc.com/usr/pat>:

   % cd /afs/abc.com/usr
   % fs setvol -path smith pat -max 6500B<>
