Notes
-----

.. note::
   - SMB shares, NFS exports, and snapshots associated with filesystem need to be deleted prior to deleting a filesystem.
   - The *quota_config* parameter can be used to update default hard limit and soft limit values to limit the maximum space that can be used. By default they both are set to 0 during filesystem creation which means unlimited.
   - The *check_mode* is not supported.
   - The modules present in this collection named as 'dellemc.unity' are built to support the Dell Unity storage platform.
