注: The capacity option in this command example sets the quota on the LSU. This is the maximum number of bytes
(ignoring optimization) that can be written to an LSU and it is listed in the gigabytes (GB). If the capacity option is
not specified (or if 0 is specified for the capacity), then the LSU will not have a quota. If this is the case, then this
means that the amount of data that can be written to the LSU is limited only by the amount of free space on the
disk.
