Create or extend the administrative filesystem
The administrative filesystem must be created manually. Before creating the filesystem,
obtain the UUIDs and partition numbers for the volumes or disks that will be used for
the filesystem. The disk or disks used for the administrative filesystem do not need to
be imported into the cluster and can be either partitioned or unpartitioned.
The sandiskinfo -a command lists the disk UUIDs and partitions for all disks
imported into the cluster. To see this information for disks/LUNs that have been not
been imported into the cluster, add the -u option to the command.
IMPORTANT:
The administrative filesystem must be created on its own LUN.
Use the following commands to create or extend the filesystem.

mx config adminfs set [--reuse] [--path <unix path>] <partitionUID ...>
You can specify one or more partitions (or unpartitioned disks). For disks that have
been partitioned, <partitionUID ...> is a list of the partitions to be used for
the filesystem. Specify each partition as <uuid/partno>, where <uuid> is the
uuid of the disk and <partno> is the partition number on the disk.
For unpartitioned disks, use <uuid> or <uuid>/0 to specify the disks.
The arguments are:
[--path <unix path>]
By default, the administrative filesystem is mounted at /_adminfs. If you want
to mount the filesystem at another location, use this option to specify the mount
point.
