9.4.2 Re-creating the file system

To re-create the file system, use sfcmkfs (8). Using sfcmkfs(8) with the -o force option enables the user to use mount for the file system.

The following is an example of using sfcmkfs(8) to re-create a file system with a single partition.

# sfcmkfs -o force,node=mikan,karin,mango /dev/sfdsk/gfs/dsk/volume1
 
Representative partition (meta-data, log, and data) :  /dev/sfdsk/gfs/dsk/volume1
Shared hosts  :  mikan, karin, mango
Primary MDS   :  mikan
Secondary MDS :  karin

Re-creating a file system means creating a new file system. Make backup copies because the data in the previous file system is deleted.
