Thank you so much for your prompt reply, Atin!  I understand the difference
between the two and I would like to configure the volume through CLI as you
mentioned.

When I need to edit other options in vol file than those you have shown, I
would like to research by myself or ask here because there seems to be no
detailed documentation about vol file.

Thanks,
Masao
