Enabling the QuickLog Log for a File System
This procedure enables the QuickLog log device for a vxfs file system
and remounts the file system. Before you enable a QuickLog log, you
need to designate a volume as a QuickLog log (see “Creating a QuickLog
Log on a Volume”).
To enable a QuickLog log for a file system
Step 1. Select the file system to be remounted with a QuickLog log device
enabled.
Step 2. Choose File System > QuickLog > Enable (Selected menu) or File System
Enable QuickLog (Command Launcher).
Step 3. Complete the Enable QuickLog dialog box as follows:
When you have provided all necessary information in the dialog box,
click OK.
File System Name: If the correct file system name is not already
displayed in this field, type the file system’s name or
click Browse to select the file system.
Log Device Number: Select the number of the log device to be enabled for
the file system. Log devices are listed in /dev/vxld.
Options To mount the file system automatically at system
startup, select Mount at Boot. If this is selected, the
file system table file will also be updated at system
startup.
