filesystem creation

Hi,

If I run the following command to create a filesystem, what would I put in /etc/fstab ?

newfs -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg01/rlvol1

Also, what do the follwing mean and do they need to be specified at filesystem creation ?

rw
suid
delaylog
detainlog
0 2

Thanks

steve

Re: filesystem creation

Hi,

Your fstab line should be something like this.

/dev/vgnaam/lvol1 /test vxfs delaylog 0 2

Hi,

The options will be found in:

man mount_vxfs

Re: filesystem creation

Hi

The delaylog may be used to enable/disable read and write permissions and the quota. The defaults keyword shows that the filesystem is mounted in read/write mode

The fifth column is reserved = 0

The sixth column is the order that the fsck command will use when checking the filesystems
on startup

Re: filesystem creation

The information you need should look
something like this:

/dev/vg01/lvol1 /mountpoint vxfs rw,suid,delaylog,datainlog,largefiles 0 2

As stated you can have a look at the man
page of mount_vxfs
