mkfset(8)
NAME
  mkfset - creates an AdvFS fileset in an existing file domain

SYNOPSIS
  /sbin/mkfset	domain setname


  domain Specifies the name of an existing file domain.

  setname
	 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 domain.
  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:

  showfsets
	Displays the filesets associated with a domain.

  rmfset
	Removes a fileset (and all of its files) from the file domain.

  renamefset
	Assigns a new name to an existing fileset.

  chfsets
	Changes fileset attributes; specifically fileset quotas.

  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
  characters.  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 directory,
  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 reboot the
  system and fileset quotas are enabled.  For example, to automatically mount
  the credit_fs fileset, add the following line to your fstab file:

       accounts_dmn#credit_fs /mnt/credit advfs rq, userquota, groupquota


FILES
  .tags
       A permanent directory that is reserved for future use.
