This is the initial conversion of the AFS Adminstrators Reference into POD for use as man pages. The man pages are now generated via pod2man from regen.sh so that only those working from CVS have to have pod2man available. The Makefile only installs. The pages have also been sorted out into pod1, pod5, and pod8 directories, making conversion to the right section of man page easier without maintaining a separate list and allowing for names to be duplicated between pod5 and pod1 or pod8 (which will likely be needed in a few cases). This reconversion is done with a new script based on work by Chas Williams. In some cases, the output is worse than the previous POD pages, but this is a more comprehensive conversion. This is only the first step, and this initial conversion has various problems. In addition, the file man pages that didn't have simple names have not been converted in this pass and will be added later. Some of the man pages have syntax problems and all of them have formatting errors. The next editing pass, coming shortly, will clean up most of the remaining mess.

|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The vos create command creates a read/write volume with the name
|
|
specified by the B<-name> argument at the site specified by the
|
|
B<-server> and B<-partition> arguments. In addition,
|
|
the command allocates or sets the following:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
Volume ID numbers for the read/write volume and its associated read-only
|
|
and backup volumes (this command does not actually create the latter two types
|
|
of volume). A volume ID number is an identification number guaranteed
|
|
to be unique within a cell.

L<(1)>
|
|
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
An access control list (ACL) associated with the volume's root
|
|
directory, which takes the same name as volume's mount point when the
|
|
volume is mounted with the B<fs mkmount> command. An entry that
|
|
grants all seven permissions to the members of the
|
|
B<system:administrators> group is automatically placed on the
|
|
ACL. (In addition, the File Server by default always implicitly grants
|
|
the B<l> (B<lookup>) and B<a> (B<administer>)
|
|
permissions on every ACL to members of the
|
|
B<system:administrators> group, even when the group does not
|
|
appear on an ACL; use the B<-implicit> argument to the
|
|
B<fileserver> initialization command to alter the set of rights on a
|
|
server-by-server basis if desired.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
The volume's space quota, set to 5000 kilobyte blocks by
|
|
default. Use the B<-maxquota> argument to specify a different
|
|
quota, or use the B<fs setquota> command to change the volume's
|
|
quota after mounting the volume with the B<fs mkmount> command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
The volume is empty when created. To access it via the Cache
|
|
Manager, mount it in the file space by using the B<fs mkmount>
|
|
command.
|
|
|
|
=head1 OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item -server
|
|
|
|
Identifies the file server machine on which to create the read/write
|
|
volume. Provide the machine's IP address or its host name (either
|
|
fully qualified or using an unambiguous abbreviation). For details, see
|
|
the introductory reference page for the B<vos> command suite.
|
|
|
|
=item -partition
|
|
|
|
Identifies the partition on which to create the read/write volume, on the
|
|
file server machine specified by the B<-server> argument.
|
|
Provide the partition's complete name with preceding slash (for example,
|
|
B</vicepa>) or use one of the three acceptable abbreviated
|
|
forms. For details, see the introductory reference page for the
|
|
B<vos> command suite.
|
|
|
|
=item -name
|
|
|
|
Specifies a name for the read/write volume. The maximum length is
|
|
22 characters, which can include any alphanumeric or punctuation
|
|
character. By convention, periods separate the fields in a name.
|
|
Do not apply the B<.backup> or B<.readonly>
|
|
extension to a read/write volume name; they are reserved for the Volume
|
|
Server to add to the read/write name when creating those backup and read-only
|
|
volumes respectively.
|
|
|
|
=item -maxquota
|
|
|
|
Specifies the maximum amount of disk space the volume can use, as a number
|
|
of kilobyte blocks (a value of B<1024> is one megabyte). The
|
|
value B<0> (zero) grants an unlimited quota, but the size of the disk
|
|
partition that houses the volume places an absolute limit on its size.
|
|
If this argument is omitted, the default value is B<5000>.
|
|
|
|
=item -cell
|
|
|
|
Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this
|
|
argument with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see the
|
|
introductory B<vos> reference page.
|
|
|
|
=item -noauth
|
|
|
|
Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the
|
|
issuer. Do not combine this flag with the B<-localauth>
|
|
flag. For more details, see the introductory B<vos> reference
|
|
page.
|
|
|
|
=item -localauth
|
|
|
|
Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
|
|
B</usr/afs/etc/KeyFile> file. The B<vos> command
|
|
interpreter presents it to the Volume Server and Volume Location Server during
|
|
mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the
|
|
B<-cell> argument or B<-noauth> flag. For more details,
|
|
see the introductory B<vos> reference page.
|
|
|
|
=item -verbose
|
|
|
|
Produces on the standard output stream a detailed trace of the
|
|
command's execution. If this argument is omitted, only warnings
|
|
and error messages appear.
|
|
|
|
=item -help
|
|
|
|
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
|
|
are ignored.
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
=head1 OUTPUT
|
|
|
|
The Volume Server produces the following message to confirm that it created
|
|
the volume:
|
|
|
|
Volume I<volume_ID> created on partition I<partition_name> of I<machine_name>
|
|
|
|
=head1 EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
The following command creates the read/write volume
|
|
B<user.pat> on the B</vicepf> partition of the file
|
|
server machine B<fs4.abc.com>.
|
|
|
|
% vos create -server fs4.abc.com -partition /vicepf -name user.pat
|
|
Volume user.pat created on partition /vicepf of fs4.abc.com
|
|
|
|
=head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
|
|
|
|
The issuer must be listed in the /usr/afs/etc/UserList file on
|
|
the machine specified with the B<-server> argument and on each
|
|
database server machine. If the B<-localauth> flag is included,
|
|
the issuer must instead be logged on to a server machine as the local
|
|
superuser B<root>.
