Volumes have a set of attributes that determine how they can be used.
You assign the following attributes to every volume, whether it is a traditional or FlexVol volume, except where noted:
- The name of the volume
- The size of the volume (assigned only for FlexVol volumes; the size of traditional volumes is determined by the size and number of their disks)
- A security style, which determines whether a volume can contain files that use UNIX security, files that use NT file system (NTFS) file security, or both types of files
- Whether the volume uses CIFS oplocks (opportunistic locks)
- The language of the volume
- The level of space guarantees (for FlexVol volumes only)
- Disk space and file limits (quotas, optional)
- A Snapshot copy schedule (optional)
- Whether the volume is designated as a SnapLock volume
- Whether the volume is a root volume
