Veritas™ File System 5.0.1 Administrator's Guide

Allocating data from vol1 to vol2
1
Define an allocation policy, lf_12, that allocates user data to the least full
volume between vol1 and vol2:
# fsapadm define -o least-full /mnt1 lf_12 vol1 vol2
2
Assign the allocation policy lf_12 as the data allocation policy to the file
system mounted at /mnt1:
# fsapadm assignfs /mnt1 lf_12 ''
Metadata allocations use the default policy, as indicated by the empty string
(''). The default policy is as-given allocations from all metadata-eligible
volumes.
Volume encapsulation
Multi-volume support enables the ability to encapsulate an existing raw volume
and make the volume contents appear as a file in the file system.
Encapsulating a volume involves the following actions:
■ Adding the volume to an existing volume set.
■ Adding the volume to the file system using fsvoladm.
