[Figure: Setting File System Attributes]

 

  1. Setting [File System Type]

    Select the file system type. It is set to "ufs" by default.
    When using GFS Local File System, select "sfxfs."

  2. Setting [Mount Point]

    Type the mount point you want to set for /etc/vfstab.

  3. Setting [Mount]

    Select "Yes" if you want to automatically mount when you start the volume, and "No" if not.

    Selecting "Yes" will mount the file system to the specified mount point immediately after its creation.

    However, you cannot select "Yes" when the volume in which you will create the file system exists on a shared disk unit.

    When Selecting "No" for "Mount"
    When you select "No" for "Mount," [mount at boot] field in the /etc/vfstab file will be set to "No" and the new mount information will be added. Change the mount information as necessary.

 

4. Creating the file system

After setting the attributes, click <Create>. A new file system will be created.

After creating all file systems, click <Exit>.

In Cluster Systems
When using a volume of a shared disk as a file system in a cluster system, certain settings are required after creating the file system. For details on how to set the file system created on a shared disk, see "PRIMECLUSTER Cluster Foundation (CF) Configuration and Administration Guide."
