Where to Go From Here
After you create disk slices and label the disk, you can create file systems on the disk. Go to "SPARC: How to Create File Systems".
SPARC: How to Create File Systems
Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.
Create a file system for each slice.
# newfs /dev/rdsk/cwtxdysz
/dev/rdsk/cwtxdysx is the raw device for the file system to be created.
For more information about the newfs command, see Chapter 38, Creating File Systems (Tasks) or newfs(1M).
Verify the new file system by mounting.
# mount /dev/dsk/cwtxdysz /mnt # lslost+found
SPARC: Where to Go From Here
Add Disk Task | Action |
|---|---|
System Disk | You need to restore the root (/) and /usr file systems on the disk. Go to Chapter 48, Restoring Files and File Systems (Tasks). After the root (/) and /usr file systems are restored, install the boot block. Go to "SPARC: How to Install a Boot Block on a System Disk". |
Secondary Disk | You might need to restore file systems on the new disk. Go to Chapter 48, Restoring Files and File Systems (Tasks).
If you are not restoring file systems on the new disk, you are finished adding a secondary disk. See Chapter 39, Mounting and Unmounting File Systems (Tasks) for information on making the file systems available to users. |
SPARC: How to Install a Boot Block on a System Disk
Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.
Install a boot block on the system disk.
# installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/cwtxdys0
/usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs /ufs/bootblk
Is the boot block code.
/dev/rdsk/cwtxdys0
Is the raw device of the root (/) file system.
For more information, see installboot(1M).
Verify that the boot blocks are installed by rebooting the system to run level 3.
# init 6
SPARC: Example--Installing a Boot Block on a System Disk
The following example shows how to install the boot block on a SPARCstation 10.
# installboot /usr/platform/sun4m/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 |
