filesys Profile Keyword (Creating Local File Systems)

filesys slice size [[file_system optional_parameters]]

This instance of filesys creates local file systems during the installation. You can specify filesys more than once.

slice - Choose one of the following options:

• any - JumpStart places the file system on any disk.

  ---

  Note -

  You cannot specify any when size is existing, all, free, start:size, or ignore.

  ---

• cwtxdysz or cxdysz - The disk slice where JumpStart places the file system (c0t0d0s0 or c0d0s0, for example).

• rootdisk.sn - The variable that contains the value for the system's root disk, which is determined by JumpStart (described in "How the System's Root Disk Is Determined"). The sn suffix indicates a specific slice on the disk.

size - Choose one of the following options:

• num - The size of the file system is set to num (in Mbytes).

• existing - The current size of the existing file system is used.

  ---

  Note -

  When using this value, you can change the name of an existing slice by specifying file_system as a different mount_pt_name.

  ---

• auto - The size of the file system is automatically determined and depends on the selected software.

• all - The specified slice uses the entire disk for the file system. When you specify this value, no other file systems can be placed on the specified disk.

• free - The remaining unused space on the disk is used for the file system.

  ---

  Note -

  If free is used as the value to filesys, it must be the last filesys entry in a profile.

  ---

• start:size - The file system is explicitly partitioned: start is the cylinder where the slice begins; size is the number of cylinders for the slice.

file_system - You can use this optional value when slice is specified as any or cwtxdysz. If file_system is not specified, unnamed is set by default, but then you can't specify the optional_parameters value. Choose one of the following options:

• mount_pt_name - The file system's mount point name, /var, for example.

• swap - The specified slice is used as swap.

• overlap - The specified slice is defined as a representation of a disk region (VTOC value is V_BACKUP). By default, slice 2 is an overlap slice that is a representation of the whole disk.

  ---

  Note -

  You can specify overlap only when size is existing, all, or start:size.

  ---

• unnamed - The specified slice is defined as a raw slice, so slice does not have a mount point name. If you do not specify file_system, unnamed is used by default.

• ignore - The specified slice is not used or recognized by JumpStart. You can use this option to specify you want a file system ignored on a disk during installation, so JumpStart can create a new file system on the same disk with the same name. You can use ignore only when partitioning existing is specified.

optional_parameters - Choose one of the following options:

• preserve - The file system on the specified slice is preserved.

  ---

  Note -

  preserve can be specified only when size is existing and slice is cwtxdysz.

  ---

• mount_options - One or more mount options (same as the -o option of the mount(1M) command) that are added to the /etc/vfstab entry for the specified mount_pt_name.

  ---

  Note -

  If you need to specify more than one mount option, the mount options must be separated by commas and no spaces (ro,quota, for example).
