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

SYNOPSIS
  /sbin/mkfset domain setname

OPERANDS
  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.

  Tru64 UNIX supports an unlimited number of filesets per system; only 767
  filesets can be mounted at one time.



EXAMPLE
   1.  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

   2.  To mount the newly created credit_fs fileset on the /mnt/credit
       directory, enter:
	    # mount -t advfs accounts_dmn#credit_fs /mnt/credit

   3.  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.
