How do I create a filesystem in a slice?
1) mkfs -m /dev/dsk/c0b0t0d0s4 > /tmp/doitNow there is a filesystem on our new slice. To complete the whole process, we want to create a mount point directory like /home2, and then go into scoadmin filesystem to let the system know about the mount configuration and to let it update /etc/vfstab so that we can simply type: mount /home2 instead of the whole c0b0t0d0s5 stuff, anytime we want to mount it.
This command is used to list the mkfs command that was used to create /home. We'll use this because it is almost identical to the command that we need to make our vxfs filesystem. This is the output of the command:
mkfs -F vxfs -o ninode=unlimited,bsize=1024,version=4, \ inosize=256,logsize=1024,nolargefiles /dev/dsk/c0b0t0d0s4 8787554 where I have used a \ to denote that the mkfs command was one long line. Now vi doit and change it to specify our new slice, then execute it as follows.
2) vi /tmp/doit as follows to add a vxfs filesystem to slice 5 that we created in Question (3.30):
/tmp/doit +-------------------------------------------------------------------- | mkfs -F vxfs -o ninode=unlimited,bsize=1024,version=4,inosize=256, \ | logsize=1024,nolargefiles /dev/dsk/c0b0t0d0s5 272790 |
In this file I changed the last two "words." Save the file.
3) Use you new doit file to create the filesystem:
# sh /tmp/doit
