3.1.2 Matrix Server Administration Guide

Chapter 7: Configure PSFS Filesystems 93

To assign a limit, click “Limit” and then specify the appropriate size in

either kilobyes, megabytes, gigabytes, or terabytes. The defaults are

rounded down to the nearest filesystem block. The default user and

group quotas apply to all users and groups, respectively; however, you

can change the quota for a specific user or group. See Chapter 8, “Manage

Filesystem Quotas” on page 120 for more information.

You can enable or disable quotas on a filesystem at any time. (See “Enable

or Disable Quotas” on page 120.)

Recreate a Filesystem

If you want to recreate a filesystem, select the filesystem on the

Filesystems window, right-click, and select Recreate Filesystem. All

existing data will be lost.

The Options button opens the Filesystem Options dialog, and provides

the same options as creating a filesystem.

Create a Filesystem from the Command Line

To create a filesystem, use one of the following Matrix Server commands.

The mx Command

Use this syntax:

mx fs create [--size <KB>] <filesystem> <storageDevice>

The storageDevice is the basic or dynamic volume where the filesystem

will be created. Use the mx fs showcreateopt command to locate an

available volume. --size is optional, and is the number of blocks in the

filesystem.
