Create the File Systems Create a file system for each new OPEN-K/3/8/9/E device. To overcome the size and speed limitations of a standard file system (EFS), it is possible to create an extended file system (XFS). The EFS file system creates one file system of 2 GB or less on a single device without the extended logical volume manager (XLV). The XFS file system creates a 64-bit file system capable of scaling to handle extremely large files and file systems. The file system created is application dependent. If you are not sure which file system is best, contact the HP support center. To create an EFS file system: 1. Use the mkfs command to create an EFS file system. For example, to create a file system for controller 4, drive 4, logical unit 3, partition 7, enter mkfs /dev/rdsk/dks4d4l3s7 2. Repeat step 1 for each EFS file system to be created. The character device file for this device is found under /dev/rdsk. To create an XFS file system: 1. Use the mkfs command to create an XFS file system. For example, to create a file system for controller 4, drive 4, logical unit 3, partition 7, enter mkfs xfs -d name=/dev/rdsk/dks4d4l3s7 -b size=1k -l internal,size=10m 2. Repeat step 1 for each XFS file system to be created. SGI IRIX Installation 31

Create the File Systems
Create a file system for each new OPEN-K/3/8/9/E device.
To overcome the size and speed limitations of a standard file system (EFS), it is
possible to create an extended file system (XFS).
The EFS file system creates one file system of 2 GB or less on a single device without
the extended logical volume manager (XLV). The XFS file system creates a 64-bit file
system capable of scaling to handle extremely large files and file systems. The file
system created is application dependent.
If you are not sure which file system is best, contact the HP support center.
To create an EFS file system:
1.
Use the
mkfs
command to create an EFS file system. For example, to create a file
system for controller 4, drive 4, logical unit 3, partition 7, enter
mkfs /dev/rdsk/dks4d4l3s7
2.
Repeat step 1 for each EFS file system to be created.
The character device file for this device is found under
/dev/rdsk
.
To create an XFS file system:
1.
Use the
mkfs
command to create an XFS file system. For example, to create a file
system for controller 4, drive 4, logical unit 3, partition 7, enter
mkfs xfs –d name=/dev/rdsk/dks4d4l3s7 –b size=1k –l internal,size=10m
2.
Repeat step 1 for each XFS file system to be created.
