The device can be specified in several ways:
• By the drive letter, such as X:
• By the mount point (junction), such as C:\san\vol2
• By the psd or psv name, such as psd2p2 or psv1
The options are:
-f
The -f option (format) can be used if PolyServe Matrix Server is not
running or the disk is not imported. Before using this option, be sure that
the volume is not in use on another node. The format operation will take
place even if the volume is in use.
-q
Suppress messages.
-n <max-nodes>
The maximum number of nodes that can be in the cluster.
-l <label>
The label for the filesystem.
The -o option has the following parameters:
blocksize=#
Specify the block size (either 4096 or 8192) for the filesystem.
disable-fzbm
Create the filesystem without Full Zone Bit Maps (FZBMs). The FZBM
on-disk filesystem format reduces the amount of data that the filesystem
needs to read when allocating a block. It is particularly useful for speeding
up allocation times on large, relatively full filesystems. For details about
FZBM, see the PolyServe Knowledge Base article “Using the FZBM
On-Disk Filesystem Format.”
enable-quotas
Enable quotas on the filesystem.
The following options can be used with enable-quotas:
default=<size>[K|M|G|T]
Set the default hard quota on the specified filesystem. (The default is
rounded down to the nearest filesystem block.) The <size> argument can
include one of the following optional modifiers to specify the unit: K
