The optional arguments are:
[--label <label>]
The label for the filesystem. It can contain up to 32 characters.
[--blocksize <4K>]
The block size is always 4 KB.
[--quotas]
Enable quotas on the filesystem.
[--defaultUserHardLimit <unlimited | #{K,M,G,T}>]
The default quota for all users on the filesystem. unlimited specifies that
there is no default. The optional size modifiers specify that the size is in
kilobytes (K), megabytes (M), gigabytes (G), or terabytes (T). If a modifier is
not specified, the size will be calculated in bytes. (The default is rounded
down to the nearest filesystem block.)
[--defaultGroupHardLimit <unlimited | #{K,M,G,T}>]
The default quota for all groups on the filesystem. unlimited specifies that
there is no default. The optional size modifiers specify that the size is in
kilobytes (K), megabytes (M), gigabytes (G), or terabytes (T). If a modifier is
not specified, the size will be calculated in bytes. (The default is rounded
down to the nearest filesystem block.)
Recreate a PSFS filesystem:
mx fs recreate [optional-arguments] <storageDevice>
The optional arguments are the same as mx fs create.
Display information about available volumes:
mx fs showcreateopt
Mount a PSFS filesystem on the specified servers:
mx fs mount
[ --persist ] [ --activate ] [ --options
< option,option,... >] --path <path> <storageDevice> <server> ...
The --persist argument causes the filesystem to be mounted automatically
whenever the server is rebooted. The --activate argument mounts the
filesystem now. The --path argument specifies the directory mountpoint for
the filesystem; if this mountpoint does not already exist, include the
CREATEDIR option to create it.
