IBM Limit directory Size in AIX

Hello

I have a disk mounted on my AIX server and inside the disk, I want to create 3 directories with max size limit, so that the directories can be limited to pre-defined size.

Eg: My total disk size is 350 GB and I want to limit dir1 to max of 100 GB, dir 2 to 75 GB and dir 3 to 60 GB and the rest 115 GB will be unallocated to directories and will be used for future usage.

Is there anyway to achieve this, without creating mutiple SAN disks.

Env: AIX 7.1

FS_SETVOL(1)						       AFS Command Reference						      FS_SETVOL(1)

NAME
       fs_setvol - Set quota and messages for a volume containing a file or directory

SYNOPSIS
       fs setvol [-path <dir/file path>+]
	   [-max <disk space quota in 1K units>]
	   [-offlinemsg <offline message>] [-help]

       fs setv [-p <dir/file path>+]
	   [-ma <disk space quota in 1K units>]
	   [-o <offline message>] [-h]

       fs sv [-p <dir/file path>+]
	   [-ma <disk space quota in 1K units>]
	   [-o <offline message>] [-h]

DESCRIPTION
       The fs setvol command sets the quota (maximum possible size) of the read/write volume that contains each directory or file named by the
       -path argument. To associate a message with the volume which then appears in the output of the fs examine command, include the -offlinemsg
       argument.

       To display all of the settings made with this command, use the fs examine command. The fs listquota command reports a fileset's quota, and
       the fs quota command the percent of quota used.

       To set quota on one volume at a time, use the fs setquota command.

CAUTIONS
       Currently, the maximum size of a volume is 2 terabytes (2^31 bytes).

OPTIONS
       -path <dir/file path>+
	   Names each file or directory for which to set the host volume's quota and offline message. Partial pathnames are interpreted relative
	   to the current working directory, which is also the default value if this argument is omitted.

	   Specify the read/write path to the file or directory, to avoid the failure that results from attempting to change a read-only volume.
	   By convention, the read/write path is indicated by placing a period before the cell name at the pathname's second level (for example,
	   /afs/.abc.com). For further discussion of the concept of read/write and read-only paths through the filespace, see the fs mkmount
	   reference page.

       -max <disk space quota in 1K units>
	   Sets the maximum amount of file server disk space the volume can occupy. Provide a positive integer to indicate the number of one-
	   kilobyte blocks (1024 is one megabyte). A value of 0 sets an unlimited quota, but the size of the disk partition that houses the volume
	   places an absolute limit on the volume's size.

	   If the -path argument is omitted (so that the command sets the quota of the volume housing the current working directory), the -max
	   switch must be provided.

       -offlinemsg
	   Associates a message with the volume which then appears in the output of the fs examine command. Its intended use is to explain why the
	   volume is currently offline.

       -help
	   Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

EXAMPLES
       The following command imposes a 6500 kilobyte quota on the volumes mounted at the home directories /afs/abc.com/usr/smith and
       /afs/abc.com/usr/pat:

	  % cd /afs/abc.com/usr
	  % fs setvol -path smith pat -max 6500B<>

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
       The issuer must belong to the system:administrators group.
