    If the qtree…​ Use the command…​

    Does not exist yet

    volume qtree create and include the -security-style parameter to specify the security style.

    Already exists

    volume qtree modify and include the -security-style parameter to specify the security style.

    The possible options for the qtree security style are unix, ntfs, or mixed.
