Mounting a file system
After creating a VxFS file system, mount the file system using the mount command.
By default, the command tries to enable Quick I/O. If Quick I/O is not installed or
licensed, no error messages are displayed unless you explicitly specify the mount
option. If necessary, you can turn the Quick I/O option off at mount time or you
can remount the file system with the option.
Before mounting a file system, review the following:
■ A file system must exist in order to be mounted.
■ DBAs must be logged in as root to mount a file system.
Prerequisites
■ The mount point must be an absolute path name (that is, it must
begin with /).
■ See the mount_vxfs (1M) manual page for more information about
mount settings.
■ See the mount (1M) manual page for more information about
generic mount options.
Usage notes
To mount a file system
◆
Use the mount command as follows:
# /usr/sbin/mount -F vxfs [generic_options] [-r] \
[-o specific_options] special /mount_point
where:
■ generic_options are the options common to most file systems
■ -r mounts the file system as read only
■ specific_options are options specific to the VxFS file system
■ special is a block special device
■ /mount_point is the directory where the file system will be mounted
For example, to mount a file system named /db01 that supports large files
on volume /dev/vx/dsk/PRODdg/db01:
