Assigning pattern tables to directories
A pattern table contains patterns against which a file's name and creating process'
UID and GID are matched as a file is created in a specified directory. The first
successful match is used to set the allocation policies of the file, taking precedence
over inheriting per-file allocation policies.
See the fsapadm(1M) manual page.
The following example shows how to assign pattern tables to a directory in a
volume set that contains two volumes from different classes of storage. The
pattern table matches all files created in the directory dir1 with the .mp3 extension
for any user or group ID and assigns the mp3data data policy and mp3meta metadata
policy.
To assign pattern tables to directories
1
Define two allocation policies called mp3data and mp3meta to refer to the vol1
and vol2 volumes:
# fsapadm define /mnt1 mp3data vol1
# fsapadm define /mnt1 mp3meta vol2
2
Assign the pattern table:
# fsapadm assignfilepat dir1 *.mp3///mp3data/mp3meta/
Assigning pattern tables to file systems
A pattern table contains patterns against which a file's name and creating process'
UID and GID are matched as a file is created in a directory. If the directory does
not have its own pattern table or an inheritable allocation policy, the file system's
pattern table takes effect. The first successful match is used to set the allocation
policies of the file.
See the fsapadm(1M) manual page.
The following example shows how to assign pattern tables to a file system in a
volume set that contains two volumes from different classes of storage. The
pattern table is contained within the pattern file mypatternfile.
