Filesystem: If you want Matrix Server to create a filesystem that will be
placed on the dynamic volume, enter a label to identify the filesystem. If
you do not want a filesystem to be created, remove the checkmark from
“Create filesystem after volume creation.”
If you are creating a filesystem, you can also select the options to apply to
the filesystem. Click the Options button to see the Filesystem Option
dialog. The General tab allows you to select the block size. On a 32-bit
operating system, the block size must be 4K. For a 64-bit operating
system, the block size can be 4KB, 8KB, 16KB, or 32KB. The maximum
filesystem size is dependent on the block size used for the filesystem. The
block size cannot be changed after the filesystem is created.
Block Size Maximum Filesystem Size
4KB 16TB
8KB 32TB
16KB 64TB
32KB 128TB
