https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/newfs-question/m-p/4900593#M70267 Hi Tim,<BR /><BR />Running newfs twice just overwrites the existing filesystem.<BR /><BR />Just a remark : this is a Linux forum.<BR /><BR />Good lcuk.<BR />Kodjo Sat, 07 May 2005 17:51:27 GMT Kodjo Agbenu 2005-05-07T17:51:27Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/newfs-question/m-p/4900592#M70266 I created a new vxfs file system on a 64gb logicla volume. It warned me that I should use an 8k block size on filesystems that large.<BR /><BR />I wanted to remove the fs and try again but there is no rmfs command that I could see. So instead I just re-ran my newfs command this time specifying -b 8192 and it seemed to work fine.<BR /><BR />Does it hurt to run newfs twice? Does it just overlay the existing filesystem?<BR /><BR />Thanks, Tim Sat, 07 May 2005 12:12:16 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/newfs-question/m-p/4900592#M70266 Tim Medford 2005-05-07T12:12:16Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/newfs-question/m-p/4900593#M70267 Hi Tim,<BR /><BR />Running newfs twice just overwrites the existing filesystem.<BR /><BR />Just a remark : this is a Linux forum.<BR /><BR />Good lcuk.<BR />Kodjo Sat, 07 May 2005 17:51:27 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/newfs-question/m-p/4900593#M70267 Kodjo Agbenu 2005-05-07T17:51:27Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/newfs-question/m-p/4900594#M70268 Thanks Kodjo. I meant this for the HPUX sysadm section, no idea how I wound up here.
