File System creation

Could you help with one tip ?

I have 2 partitions :
/dev/vg01/lvol2
/dev/vg01/lvol3

they were created with 4096 block size

How the steps to re-create these file systems with 8192 Block size ?

Thanks
Marcio

Hi Marcio,

I don't believe you can change the block size of a filesystem. This is something that is set at filesystem creation time.

I believe you would need to back up these filesystems, use newfs or mkfs or SAM to create new filesystems with the 8K block size, and then restore the data.

Regards,

Dave

Re: File System creation

You will have to delete the lvols and re-create.
newfs -F vxfs -b 8192 /dev/gxx/lvolx

mkfs -F :fs_type" -m /dev/vgxx/lvolx

will give what command was used to create the FS.
