Use this page to create and configure one or more file systems that you want to include in the volume group.
Each file system that you create must have a corresponding logical volume. If you create and configure a file system, but do not create and configure a logical volume, the wizard creates a logical volume for you. The wizard sets the properties for the logical volume that best accommodate the file system configuration options that you specify.
If you specify a new name, the wizard creates a logical volume with this name for you. If you do not enter a value, the wizard also creates a logical volume for you. The wizard sets the properties for the logical volume that best accommodate the file system configuration options that you specify.
If a file system is compressed, you can select a fragment size of 512, 1024, or 2048 bytes only. The default value for compressed option for the File system type property is 512 bytes. The default value for standard option for the File system type property is 4096 bytes.
The allowable NBPI values varies according to the Allocation group size property that you select. If you select a value of 8 MB for the Allocation group size property, the allowable NBPI values are 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, and 16,384. The range of allowable NBPI values scales up as the allocation group size increases. If you select a value of 16 MB, the NBPI values are 1024, 2048, 4096, 8193, 16,384, and 32,768. If you select a value of 32 MB, the NBPI values are 2048, 4096, 8192, 16,384, 32,768, and 65,536. If you select a value of 64 MB, the NBPI values are 4096, 8192, 16,384, 32,768, 65,536, and 131,072.
The default value is 512 for the compressed option for the File system type property. The default value is 4096 for the standard and large file enabled options for the File system type property.
You cannot set this property when the value for the File system type property is enhanced.
The value that you select for this property determines the range of values that you can select for the Number of bytes per i-node property. The default value is 8 for the standard and compressed options for the File system types property. The default value is 64 for the large file enabled option for the File system type property.
You cannot set this property when the value for the File system type property is enhanced.
If you are creating a file system type of standard, compressed, or large file enabled, select a logical volume with a type of jfslog from the list of available logical volumes.
If you are creating a file system type of enhanced, select a logical volume with a type of jfs2log from the list. Alternatively, you can select a value of inline to have the journal log for the file system be within the file system itself.
If you specify a new name, the wizard creates a logical volume with this name for you. If you do not enter a value, the wizard also creates a logical volume for you. The wizard sets the properties for the logical volume that best accommodate the file system configuration options that you specify.
