Adding a Managed Volume

A managed volume aggregates one or more exports/shares from actual filers. The files

from each filer share are imported into the top directory of the volume. During the

share import, the volume catalogues all file and directory locations in its metadata.

For example, an “/acct” volume with shares from three filers would aggregate files as

shown in the figure below:

volume "/acct"

namespace "wwmed"

/bills/pending/

overdue.txt

up_to_date.t

/chestXrays/
