Thanks!
Setting the default volume capacity does it. I simply didn't see there was
a field like that in nwadmin (So I thought I had to set the variable
NSR_DEV_DEFAULT_CAPACITY_... as the administrator's guide, chapter 5,
suggests; the usage of the environment variables mentioned there still
remain a secret to me).
Thanks again,
Ingo
