Create a filesystem from the command line
To create a filesystem, use one of the following HP Scalable NAS commands.
The mx command
Use this syntax:
mx fs create <optional-arguments> <storageDevice>
A storage device is a basic or dynamic volume. To locate an available volume, use
the fs showcreateopt command. The optional arguments are:
--label <label>
The label for the filesystem. It can contain up to 32 characters.
--blocksize <4K|8K|16K|32K>
The block size used by the filesystem. The supported sizes are 4K, 8K, 16K, or
32K. 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.
Maximum Filesystem SizeBlock Size
16TB4KB
32TB8KB
64TB16KB
128TB32KB
[--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.
--defaultUserHardLimit <unlimited | #{K,M,G,T}>
