When I create a volume with only 16 characters, it works fine. I think there must be some padding or "reserved" space within the 32 allotted characters. From looking at the message above (1st item to follow) and

Right, volume replicas get ".?" siffixes and there is also possible ".backup"

Ok, so it looks that the volume name has a 30 character [usable space] limitation, or a 23 character [usable space] limitation if, I assume during the volume creation process, one selects backup = y. As a side note, I'd think that for use in a limited space field, something along the lines of ".bak" or even ".b" would be preferrable over ".backup". Is this trivial to change, or would it be a monumental refactor?

Regardless, what does setting up backup to yes actually mean in the volume creation process?
I found this, but the information contained wasn't useful ;)
