Create Filesystem

[uadmin]

Hi,

Please could anyone advise me on the best practice to create a file system. I have ran a prtvtoc on the raw disk but need to create a filesystem /u01, /u02 of about 1Gb each.

Regards,
Simon

Use the command "newfs"... You will need to know the partition you wish to create the files system on...

Example: newfs /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0

Once the file system is created, you will see a lost+found directory

First, if this file system will be on a new disk you will need to partition the slices using format.

Then you can use either the newfs command or makefs command.

To automount the filesystem, you will need to place the entry into /etc/fstab
