If a dev_spec type is used, refer to the discussion regarding Device Specifier in the I/O Configuration
section.
Following
physical_volume, may be a block of physical_volume-attributes surrounded by
{}
brackets. These attributes are described in the following sections.
fs_partition
In a partitioned_disk
configuration, this keyword starts the specification for the file system
partition of the disk. The block following this keyword is surrounded by
{}brackets and consists
of file system attributes. File system attributes are described in the following sections.
swap_partition
In a partitioned_disk
configuration, this keyword starts the specification for the swap parti-
tion of the disk. The block following this keyword is surrounded by
{}brackets and consists of
subset of the file system attributes, namely the
size, usage, and optionally the mount_point.
These attributes are described in the following sections.
logical_volume
logical_volume
cplx_string
Defines a logical volume that should be part of the current
volume_group. A volume group may
contain any number of logical volumes. The logical volume may optionally be given a name by
specifying a cplx_string after the
logical_volume
keyword. If a name is not supplied, the
default of "lvolX" is used where X is the creation number of the logical volume. Following the
logical_volume statement is a block of file system and swap attributes.
Physical Volume Attributes
Following the specification of a disk using the
physical_volume keyword, a block of attributes sur-
rounded by
{}brackets may be specified. See mkfs(1M) for details. These attribute keywords are:
nsect = number
Specifies the number of sectors per track as number.
ntrack = number
Specifies the number of tracks per cylinder as number.
rpm = number
Specifies the revolutions per minute of the disk as number, where number is converted to RPS
before passing it to the newfs command.
interleave_factor =
number
This attribute used to control whether
mediainit should be run on the disk. It is no longer sup-
ported to run mediainit on the disk, and the command has been removed from Ignite-UX.
Therefore this attribute has no effect.
File System/Swap Attributes
The following attributes may be specified inside the blocks following the
fs_partition,
swap_partition, and logical_volume
keywords.
usage = HFS
usage = VxFS
usage = SWAP
usage = SWAP_DUMP
usage = DUMP
usage = Unused
Specifies the volume should be used as one of: HFS (hierarchical file system), VxFS (journaled file
system), virtual memory SWAP, both virtual memory SWAP and DUMP (for system core dump
storage), DUMP alone, or Unused.
Note that the
/stand file system must be HFS on PA-RISC systems. On Itanium-based systems,
/stand may also be VxFS. Also note that usage is restricted to the following values for each of these
disk and file system configurations: fs_partition may be either HFS or VxFS; swap_partition
must be SWAP; and logical_volume may be either HFS, VxFS, SWAP, SWAP_DUMP, DUMP,or
Unused.
size = number
size = remaining
size = remaining | maxsize
size = minsize | remaining
