To Configure a New Disk Drive Within Your Application
Caution –
Only a qualified system administrator should perform these procedures.
Performing hot-swap operations on an active disk drive can result in data loss or
corruption.
Use the following procedure to configure a slice (single physical partition) on a disk
to be used with a UNIX file system (UFS).
1. Verify that the device label meets your requirements.
You can use the
prtvtoc
command to inspect the label for your disk. To modify the
label, use the
format
command. Refer to the
prtvtoc
(1M) and
format
(1M) man
pages for more information.
2. Once you have selected a disk slice for your UFS file system, create a file system
on the slice.
Refer to the
newfs
(1M) man page for more information.
