About Groupwide Volume Defaults
The groupwide volume default settings control certain attributes of all volumes that you create on the group, including the snapshot
space, snapshot behavior, thin-provisioning space, sector size, and iSCSI alias naming. You can override many of these settings on a
per-volume basis when you create a volume, but unless otherwise specied, these settings are the defaults for all volumes on the
group.
