blockmapping map_volume_path --volume-full-path PATH

```

## Required Parameters

| `--volume-full-path PATH` | Specifies the full path to the volume. For example, if the volume is provisioned on a view of the path `/subsystem1`, and the volume name is `a/b/c`, then specify `PATH` as `/subsystem1/a/b/c/`. |
