aggregate
DFS: A logical unit of disk storage that can contain multiple DCE LFS filesets or a single UFS fileset. An aggregate is physically equivalent to a standard UNIX disk
partition, but a DCE LFS aggregate supports an optimized metadata structure and a number of specialized fileset-level operations not available on standard UNIX partitions. A UFS partition exported
into the global namespace is referred to as an aggregate even though it does not support the optimizations and features of a DCE LFS aggregate.
