28    /SYSTEM

    Requires a system UIC or SYSPRV (system privilege) privilege.

    Defines a system volume. The owner UIC defaults to [1,1].
    Protection defaults to complete access by all ownership
    categories, except that only system processes can create top-
    level directories.

29    /USER_NAME

       /USER_NAME=name

    Specifies a user name to be associated with the volume. The name
    must be 1 to 12 alphanumeric characters. The default is your user
    name.

30    /VERIFIED

       /VERIFIED
       /NOVERIFIED

    Indicates whether the disk has bad block data on it. Use the
    /NOVERIFIED qualifier to ignore bad block data on the disk. The
    default is the /VERIFIED qualifier for disks with 4096 blocks or
    more and the /NOVERIFIED qualifier for disks with less than 4096
    blocks.

31    /VOLUME_CHARACTERISTICS

       /VOLUME_CHARACTERISTICS=([[NO]HARDLINKS,] [[NO]ACCESS_
       DATES[=delta-time]],[NO]SPECIAL_FILES)

    Applies to Files-11 On-Disk Structure Level 5 (ODS-5) disks only.

    Enables or disables hardlinks and automatic updates of access
    dates on ODS-5 volumes.

    The default value for delta-time is 1 second, chosen to comply
    with the "seconds since EPOCH" time interface required by
    POSIX st_atime. A site can choose a larger delta time to reduce
    overhead if 1-second granularity is not required.

    Note that the NOACCESS_DATES option affects only the node on
    which the command is issued. Other nodes are not affected by the
    change until the next time the volume is mounted.

    See the Guide to OpenVMS File Applications for additional
    information.

    The volume characteristic [SPECIAL_FILES] allows you to disable
    symlinks. This eliminates file access failure audits that may
    occur due to symlinks being enabled for all processes in the
    current implementation.

32    /WINDOWS

       /WINDOWS=n

    Specifies the number of mapping pointers (used to access data in
    the file) to be allocated for file windows. The value can be an
    integer in the range of 7 to 80. The default is 7.
