A volume has all the properties of a qtree except
It can have qtrees under it.
It has different defaults than a qtree.
Unless expressly mentioned otherwise, whatever applies to qtrees also applies to
volumes.
NOTE: You cannot create a qtree inside another qtree.

You use qtrees to group files that have similar characteristics, much in the way that
you use volumes. However, qtrees are much more flexible than volumes.
