IMPORTANT: Some attributes cannot be changed after the volume is created. You must
decide before you go forward what attributes you want to assign.
Select any of the following options:
Š
Compression: Enables the file system to compress the files in the volume. You set up file
compression when you create volumes. After you enable file compression, you cannot
turn it off for the life of the volume. You can back up the data in uncompressed form,
create a new uncompressed volume, then restore the uncompressed data to the new
volume.
Š
Migration: Enables the operating system to move infrequently accessed data to remote
areas on your server. This creates space for new and more commonly accessed data.
Selecting this option only enables the attribute. The data migration feature uses a third-
party software package that does the migration function.
Š
Suballocation: Enables the file system to divide partially used disk blocks into
suballocation blocks of 512 bytes. These blocks can be used by other data files.
Š
Mount Volume on Creation: Instructs the operating system to mount the volume when
you create it. Otherwise, you can mount it later.
