180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
Mount the new file system:
# mount /dev/dasdb1 /opt
# mount
/dev/dasda1 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/dasdb1 on /opt type ext3 (rw)
Add an entry to /etc/fstab so that the file system is mounted at IPL time:
# vi /etc/fstab
# cat /etc/fstab
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults
1 1
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620
0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults
0 0
none /proc proc defaults
0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults
0 0
/dev/dasdb1 /opt ext3 defaults

Add the device to the option line for the dasd_mod in /etc/modprobe.conf Make sure to add the
new device at the end of the list, otherwise it changes the device number : devnode mapping
and file systems are not on the devices they used to be on.
# vi /etc/modprobe.conf
# cat /etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 qeth
options dasd_mod dasd=201,4B2E
Rerun mkinitrd to pick up the changes to modprobe.conf so that the device can be online and
mountable after the next IPL:
Note that the example below has been modified slightly for readability and for printing purposes.
