11.6.2 Re-creating the file system

To re-create the file system, use mkfs_sfcfs(1M). You can recreate the file system in the same configuration as before without having to delete it, using mkfs_sfcfs(1M) with the "-o force" option. Execute the command on any one of the nodes where the file system is shared.

For details on the mkfs_sfcfs(1M) options, see mkfs_sfcfs(1M).

The following is an example of using mkfs_sfcfs(1M) to re-create a file system with a single partition.

# mkfs_sfcfs -F sfcfs -o force,node=mikan,karin /dev/sfdsk/gfs01/rdsk/volume01 <Enter>
   Representative partition (meta-data, log, and data): /dev/sfdsk/gfs01/rdsk/volume01
   Shared hosts: mikan, karin
   Primary MDS: mikan
   Secondary MDS: karin

When the file system is re-created, data of the previous file system will be deleted. Back up your data if necessary.
