Do either show or llist (I can't remember which one lets you see all of
the parameters of a volume). Your pool likely has a limit, but the pool
is just a template for new volumes. I'm guessing your current volume was
created before that limit was there, and doing a show/llist should get
that value and see if it's right. If so, all you need to do is update
the volume from the pool (could also do update all volumes from pool)
with the update command.
