Chapter 9: Configure PSFS Filesystems 108

• logsoftlimit or nologsoftlimit

Whether file operations that result in exceeding a user’s soft limit are

logged in the system event log. nologsoftlimit is the default.

• enforcehardlimit or noenforcehardlimit

Whether file operations that will result in exceeding a user’s hard limit

are denied or allowed. noenforcehardlimit is the default.

• sparse-fullcost or sparse-realcost

With sparse-fullcost, quota accounting for sparse files reflects the

virtual size of the files. With sparse-realcost, quota accounting for

sparse files reflects the actual allocation of filesystem space to the files.

sparse-realcost is the default.

The mx Command

To create a filesystem, use this command, where storage device is a basic or

dynamic volume. Use mx fs showcreateopt to locate an available volume.

mx fs create [<options>] <storageDevice>

To reformat a filesystem, use this command:

mx fs recreate [ <options>] <filesystem>

The options for mx fs create and mx fs recreate are:

•[--label <label>]

The label for the filesystem. It can contain up to 32 characters.

•

[--blocksize [4K|8K]]

The block size for the filesystem.

•[--reuse]

This option applies only to mx fs create. Reuse a psd device. If you

will be creating a filesystem on a psd device that is associated with an

unimported volume, the -reuse option must be used to tell the

command to reuse the device. Without this option, the attempt to

create the filesystem will fail because the device contains a volume

signature. Be sure that you do not need the unimported dynamic

volume before doing this.

•[--quotas]

Enable quotas on the filesystem.
