[Response]

If there is a problem, specify a correct parameter value, and re-execute the command.


 

mkfs_sfcfs:WARNING: value : bogus maxnode reset to 16

[Explanation]

The value of the maxnode option is out of the valid range, so the default value 16 will be used to create a file system.

[Response]

If there is a problem, specify a correct parameter value, and re-execute the command.


 

mkfs_sfcfs:WARNING: value : bogus metasz reset

[Explanation]

The value value specified for the metasz option is outside the valid range. The file system is created using a calculated size.

[Response]

If there is a problem, specify a correct parameter value, and re-execute the command.


 

mkfs_sfcfs:WARNING: value : bogus mminfree reset to 10%

mkfs_sfcfs:WARNING: value : logsize of partition is over : Retry Auto size

[Explanation]

The log area of the size (value) specified by the logsz option cannot be secured because the capacity of the partition is insufficient. The log area size is automatically calculated to create the file system.

[Response]

When this action comes to an issue, specify a proper parameter value and re-execute the command.


 

mkfs_sfcfs:WARNING: value : metasize of partition is over : Retry Auto size

[Explanation]

The meta-data area of the size (value) specified by the metasz option cannot be secured because the capacity of the partition is insufficient. The meta-data area size is automatically calculated to create the file system.

[Response]

When this action comes to an issue, specify a proper parameter value and re-execute the command.


 

mkfs_sfcfs:WARNING: value : bogus free reset to 10%

[Explanation]

The parameter value, value, specified by the free option lies outside the range, and the default value 10% is applied to create the file system.

[Response]

When this action comes to an issue, specify a proper parameter value and re-execute the command.


 

mkfs_sfcfs:WARNING: value : bogus dataopt reset to n

[Explanation]

An invalid value was specified for dataopt, so the default value n will be specified.

[Response]

File data area is included in the representative partition of the file system. No corrective action should be taken if this configuration is used. If you want to detach the file data area from the representative partition, delete the file system using sfcadm(1M). Then, specify dataopt=y for mkfs_sfcfs(1M) and execute the command again.


 

mkfs_sfcfs:WARNING: value : bogus maxdsz reset

[Explanation]

An invalid value was specified for the maxdsz option, so the default value will be specified.

[Response]

The meta-data area size and update log area size of the file system is calculated from the file system size of the specified partition. No corrective action should be taken if this configuration is used. If additional file data partitions are added to the file system in the future, delete the file system using sfcadm(1M). Then, calculate and specify the maximum total size of the file data area for -o maxdsz of mkfs_sfcfs(1M) and execute the command again.


 

mkfs_sfcfs:WARNING: value : bogus maxvol reset to 16

[Explanation]

The value of the maxvol option is out of the valid range, so the default value 16 will be used to create a file system.

[Response]

The maximum number of partitions of the file system is 16. No corrective action should be taken if this configuration is used. If the number of partitions is more than 16, delete the file system using sfcadm(1M). Then, specify the maximum total number of the partitions for -o maxvol of mkfs_sfcfs(1M) and execute the command again.
