The latter, an AFS partition contains volumes. > 2. All afs volumes must have the same size? No, volumes are logical units and don't have a size. You can set a maximum volume size (a quota, which is set on a per-volume basis), and it's just a number -- it does not make the volume bigger -- the volume will really occupy only as much as the data you have in it. > 3.

Volume's maximal size limit is the size of the partition it is contained in, as volumes cannot span accross multiple partitions.
