+ instead of copying the higher-level quota group assignments
+ from the parent as-is, the lowest quota group of the parent
+ subvolume is determined that is not the leaf quota
+ group. Then, an "intermediary" quota group is inserted that
+ is one level below this level, and shares the same ID part
+ as the specified subvolume. If no higher-level quota group
+ exists for the parent subvolume, a new quota group at level
+ 255 sharing the same ID as the specified subvolume is
+ inserted instead. This new intermediary quota group is then
+ assigned to the parent subvolume's higher-level quota
+ groups, and the specified subvolume's leaf quota group is
+ assigned to it.</para>
+
+ <para>Effectively, this has a similar effect as
+ <varname>q</varname>, however introduces a new higher-level
+ quota group for the specified subvolume that may be used to
+ enforce limits and accounting to the specified subvolume and
+ children subvolume created within it. Thus, by creating
+ subvolumes only via <varname>q</varname> and
+ <varname>Q</varname>, a concept of "subtree quotas" is
+ implemented. Each subvolume for which <varname>Q</varname>
+ is set will get a "subtree" quota group created, and all
+ child subvolumes created within it will be assigned to
+ it. Each subvolume for which <varname>q</varname> is set
+ will not get such a "subtree" quota group, but it is ensured
+ that they are added to the same "subtree" quota group as their
+ immediate parents.</para>
+
+ <para>It is recommended to use
+ <varname>Q</varname> for subvolumes that typically contain
+ further subvolumes, and where it is desirable to have
+ accounting and quota limits on all child subvolumes
+ together. Examples for <varname>Q</varname> are typically
+ <filename>/home</filename> or
+ <filename>/var/lib/machines</filename>. In contrast,
+ <varname>q</varname> should be used for subvolumes that
+ either usually do not include further subvolumes or where no
+ accounting and quota limits are needed that apply to all
+ child subvolumes together. Examples for <varname>q</varname>
+ are typically <filename>/var</filename> or
+ <filename>/var/tmp</filename>. As with <varname>Q</varname>,
+ <varname>q</varname> has no effect on the quota group
