WARNINGS

If you want to reuse a special device that was previously used by LVM, you must ﬁrst wipe out all the

LVM information remaining on the disk. Use pvremove(1M) to remove the LVM information before exe-

cuting mkfs_vxfs(1M). (You can also remove the LVM information by initializing the device with

mediainit (1), but that is slower.)

The

-o largeﬁles option should be used with care, since older applications will not react correctly when

confronted with large ﬁles.
