 Troy,
 We have also large volume. We had defined partition on two physical
 volumes - and we reach the maximum filesystem size -
 On this 2 GB partition I create 1 volume (quota 1.9 GB) with no backup
 (I mean "backupsys") But I have a backup on tape which need an other
 2 GB partition in case of restore ...

 On the other hand , I have "sub volume" :
/afs/../proj/<proj_name>      mount point of volume proj.<proj_name>
/afs/../oldfile/proj/<proj_name>  mntpoint of vol proj.<proj_name>.backup
 1: I want to know the volume name from the PATH and vice versa
 2: If I create a mount point of a secondary volume in this volume
    I will have the same mount point in the oldfile path (backup of my
    first volume) So I don't do that |
 3: I create a hidden directory (dot)  .<proj_name> (in oldfile too)
/afs/../proj/.<proj_name>/subdir mount point of proj.<proj_name>.subdir
    and ln -sf
/afs/../proj/<proj_name>/subdir is a symbolique link on ../.<proj_name/subdir
 So idem in path oldfile
/afs/../oldfile/proj/<proj_name>/subdir  link on --> ../.<proj_name>/subdid
fs lsm ./subdir ==> is a symbolique link leading to the mount point of
 volume proj.<proj_name>.subdir.backup

Vero.
