DESCRIPTION
nas_slice creates, deletes, and renames a slice. nas_slice also displays
the slice table and displays the attributes of a specified slice.
OPTIONS
-list
Lists the slice table.
Note: The ID of the slice is an integer and is assigned automatically. The
name of the slice may be truncated if it is too long for the display. To display
the full name, use the -info option with the slice ID.
-delete <slice_name>
Deletes an unused slice. Slices cannot be in use by a storage pool.
-info { <slice_name> | id=<slice_id> }
Displays attributes for the slice as specified by the <slice_name> or
<slice_id>.
-rename <old_name> <new_name>
Changes the current name of a slice to the new name.
[ -name <name>] -create <volume_name> <size>
Creates a slice with the specified size in megabytes. Also assigns an
optional name for the slice. Names are case-sensitive.
[<offset>]
Specifies the offset which is the distance in megabytes from the
beginning of the volume to the start of a slice. If an offset is not
specified, the system defaults to the next best-fit size.
