Set up storage |
Create storage that spans slices by creating a RAID-0 or a RAID-5 volume. The RAID-0 or RAID-5 volume can then be used for a file system or any application, such as a database, that accesses the raw device. |
How to Create a RAID-0 (Stripe) Volume How to Create a RAID-0 (Concatenation) Volume How to Create a RAID-1 Volume From Unused Slices |
Expand an existing file system |
Increase the capacity of an existing file system by creating a RAID-0 (concatenation) volume, then adding additional slices to that volume. | |
Expand an existing RAID-0 (concatenation or stripe) volume |
Expand an existing RAID-0 volume by concatenating additional slices to it. | |
Expand a RAID-5 volume |
Expand the capacity of a RAID-5 volume by concatenating additional slices to it. | |
Increase the size of a UFS file system on an expanded volume |
Expand a file system by using the growfs command to expand the size of a UFS while it is mounted and without disrupting access to the data. | |
Subdivide slices or logical volumes into smaller partitions, breaking the 8-slice hard partition limit |
Subdivide logical volumes or slices by using soft partitions. | |
Create a file system |
Create a file system on a RAID-0 (stripe or concatenation), RAID-1 (mirror), RAID-5, or on a soft partition. |
