HP StorageWorks Clustered File System 3.6.0 Windows Storage Server Edition Administration Guide (403103-005, January 2008)

Chapter 9: Configure PSFS Filesystems 108
• logsoftlimit or nologsoftlimit
Whether file operations that result in exceeding a user’s soft limit are
logged in the system event log. nologsoftlimit is the default.
• enforcehardlimit or noenforcehardlimit
Whether file operations that will result in exceeding a user’s hard limit
are denied or allowed. noenforcehardlimit is the default.
• sparse-fullcost or sparse-realcost
With sparse-fullcost, quota accounting for sparse files reflects the
virtual size of the files. With sparse-realcost, quota accounting for
sparse files reflects the actual allocation of filesystem space to the files.
sparse-realcost is the default.
The mx Command
To create a filesystem, use this command, where storage device is a basic or
dynamic volume. Use mx fs showcreateopt to locate an available volume.
mx fs create [<options>] <storageDevice>
To reformat a filesystem, use this command:
mx fs recreate [ <options>] <filesystem>
The options for mx fs create and mx fs recreate are:
•[--label <label>]
The label for the filesystem. It can contain up to 32 characters.
•
[--blocksize [4K|8K]]
The block size for the filesystem.
•[--reuse]
This option applies only to mx fs create. Reuse a psd device. If you
will be creating a filesystem on a psd device that is associated with an
unimported volume, the -reuse option must be used to tell the
command to reuse the device. Without this option, the attempt to
create the filesystem will fail because the device contains a volume
signature. Be sure that you do not need the unimported dynamic
volume before doing this.
•[--quotas]
Enable quotas on the filesystem.
