Configuring Units

3 Partition the unit:
fdisk /dev/sda
If the unit is over 2 TB, use:
parted /dev/sda
4 Create or make the file system:
mkfs /dev/sda1
If you have kernel 2.6.8.1 or higher, for partitions over 4 TB, specify the
XFS filesystem when using parted. Use of the -j option to turn on
journaling is recommended for large partitions.
For example:
mkfs -j /dev/sda
To partition and format under FreeBSD
1 Boot the system and log in as root.
2 Open a terminal window.
3 Partition the unit:
fdisk -BI /dev/da0;
disklabel /dev/da0 | disklabel -B -R -r da0
4 Create or make the file system:
newfs /dev/da0c
You can also use sysinstall to format and partition the unit.
Creating a Hot Spare
You can designate an available drive as a hot spare . If a redundant unit
degrades and a hot spare the size of the degraded disk (or larger) is available,
the hot spare will automatically replace the failed drive in the unit without
user intervention. When this occurs, an event notification is generated and
appears in the list of alarms in 3DM.
It’s a good idea to create a hot spare after you create a redundant unit.
In order to replace a failed drive, a hot spare must have the same or larger
storage capacity than the drives it is replacing.
