Conﬁgure disk array devices

Disks in the disk array are conﬁgured using the same procedure for conﬁguring any new

disk on the host. This includes the following procedures:

2. Creating the ﬁle systems

3. Creating the mount directories

4. Creating the mount table

5. Verifying ﬁle system operation

Creating scripts to conﬁgure all devices at once may save you considerable time.

Partitioning the devices

After the device parameters have been set, the next step is to set the partitions. To

partition the devices:

Enter fdisk/dev/device_name.

Example

Select p to display the present partitions.

Select n to make a new partition. You can make up to four primary partitions or

you can make one extended partition. The extended partition can be divided into

a maximum of 11 logical partitions, which can be assigned partition numbers

from 5 to 15.

Select w to write the partition information to disk and complete the fdisk command.

Other commands that you might want to use include:

d to remove partitions

q to stop a change

Repeat the above steps for each device.

Creating the ﬁle systems

The supported ﬁle system for Linux is ext2.

# fdisk/dev/sda
