Use the fsvoladm command to determine if the volume set has enough free space (seethe
fsvoladm(1M) manual page):
# fsvoladm list /mnt0
devid size used avail name
0 20971520 8497658 12473862 mnt1
1 20971520 6328993 14642527 mnt2
2 20971520 4458462 16513058 mnt3
Creating a Storage Checkpoint
You can create a Storage Checkpoint using the fsckptadm utility. In these examples, /mnt0 is
a mounted VxFS file system with a Version 4 or Version 5 disk layout.
This example shows the creation of a nodata Storage Checkpoint (See “Space Management
Considerations” on page 109) named thu_7pm on /mnt0 and lists all Storage Checkpoints of
the /mnt0 file system:
# fsckptadm -n create thu_7pm /mnt0
# fsckptadm list /mnt0
/mnt0
thu_7pm:
ctime= Thu 3 Mar 2005 7:00:17 PM PST
mtime= Thu 3 Mar 2005 7:00:17 PM PST
flags= nodata, largefiles
This example shows the creation of a removable Storage Checkpoint named thu_8pm on
/mnt0 and lists all Storage Checkpoints of the /mnt0 file system:
# fsckptadm -r create thu_8pm /mnt0
# fsckptadm list /mnt0
/mnt0
thu_8pm:
ctime= Thu 3 Mar 2005 8:00:19 PM PST
mtime= Thu 3 Mar 2005 8:00:19 PM PST
flags= largefiles, removable
