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

SYNOPSIS
  /sbin/mkfset domain fileset

OPERANDS
  domain
      Specifies the name of an existing AdvFS file domain.

  fileset
      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 fileset quotas (block and file usage limits) 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 utility.

  Each fileset within a domain must have a unique name of up to 31
  characters.  All whitespace characters (tab, new line, space and so on) and
  the / # : * ? characters are invalid for fileset names.






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
