■ The mount point must be an absolute path name (that is, it must
begin with /).
■ See the mount_vxfs (1M) manual page for more information about
mount settings.
■ See the mount (1M) manual page for more information about
generic mount options.
Usage notes
To mount a file system
◆
Use the mount command as follows:
# /usr/sbin/mount -F vxfs [generic_options] [-r] \
[-o specific_options] special /mount_point
where:
■ generic_options are the options common to most file systems
■ -r mounts the file system as read only
■ specific_options are options specific to the VxFS file system
■ special is a block special device
■ /mount_point is the directory where the file system will be mounted
For example, to mount a file system named /db01 that supports large files
on volume /dev/vx/dsk/PRODdg/db01:
# mkdir /db01
# chown oracle:dba /db01
# /usr/sbin/mount -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vx/dsk/PRODdg/db01 \
/db01
If you would like /db01 to be mounted automatically after rebooting, add an
entry for it in /etc/fstab as follows:
/dev/vx/dsk/PRODdg/db01 /db01 vxfs largefiles,qio 0 2
If you do not need to use Quick I/O files, set noqio instead of qio as one of
the options.
Unmounting a file system
If you no longer need to access the data in a file system, you can unmount the file
system using the umount command.
