SPARC: How to Create File Systems

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 39, Creating File Systems (Tasks) or newfs(1M).

Verify the new file system by mounting.

# mount /dev/dsk/cwtxdysz /mnt
# ls lost+found

Add Disk Task	Action
System Disk	You need to restore the root (`/`) and `/usr` file systems on the disk. Go to Chapter 49, 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 49, 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 40, Mounting and Unmounting File Systems (Tasks) for information on making the file systems available to users.
