NAME
mkfset - creates an AdvFS fileset in an existing file domain
SYNOPSIS
/sbin/mkfset domain setname
Specifies the name of an existing file domain. Specifies the name of
the fileset to be created in the specified file domain.
DESCRIPTION
The mkfset command creates an AdvFS fileset within an existing file do-
main. You must create at least one fileset per file domain; however,
you can create multiple filesets within a file domain. You can mount
and unmount each fileset independently of the other filesets in the
file domain. You can assign block and file usage limits (quotas) to
filesets.
Use the following commands to manipulate filesets:
Displays the filesets associated with a domain. Removes a fileset (and
all of its files) from the file domain. Assigns a new name to an ex-
isting fileset. Changes fileset attributes; specifically fileset quo-
tas.
For more information, see the reference pages for each command.
RESTRICTIONS
You must be the root user to use this command.
Each fileset within a domain must have a unique name of up to 31 char-
acters. The space character and the / # : * ? characters are invalid
for fileset names.
Digital UNIX supports an unlimited number of filesets per system; only
512 filesets can be mounted at one time.
EXAMPLE
The following example creates two filesets, credit_fs and debit_fs,
within an existing domain called accounts_dmn.
# mkfset accounts_dmn credit_fs # mkfset accounts_dmn debit_fs
To mount the newly created credit_fs fileset on the /mnt/credit direc-
tory, enter:
# mount -t advfs accounts_dmn#credit_fs /mnt/credit
You can add filesets to the /etc/fstab file in the same manner that you
add any file system. Once added, filesets are mounted each time you re-
boot the system and fileset quotas are enabled. For example, to auto-
matically mount the credit_fs fileset, add the following line to your
fstab file:
accounts_dmn#credit_fs /mnt/credit advfs rq, userquota, groupquota
FILES
A permanent directory that is reserved for future use.
