Section 2 Basic Setup
The amount of time it takes to create the file system will vary, depending on the file system
chosen, the LUN capacity, the drive speeds, connection type, etc. Some file systems create in
just seconds, while others can take minutes or hours. In the example above the ext3 file
system creation took approximately 2 minutes.
The partition is prepared but must be mounted to use the LUN by the Linux clients.
Here’s the command:
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt[enter]
In this example, you are mounting the ext3 partition /dev/sdb1, to a pre-existing folder, /mnt.
You can create your own mount points, by using the following commands:
mkdir {/folderpath}[enter]
chmod 777 {/folderpath}[enter]
For example, to mount the array to /root/bob, you would type the following:
mkdir /root/bob[enter]
chmod 777 /root/bob[enter]
mount /dev/sdb1 /root/bob[enter]
Once the mount point is created, it doesn’t have to be recreated each time –just use the mount
command.
Your Aurora LS LUN is now available for use by Linux clients.
