How to Set Up Stand-Alone QFS

To set up a stand-alone QFS, do the following:

1. Create the mcf file.
   1. Copy an example mcf file.

      # cd /etc/opt/SUNWsamfs
      # cp -i /opt/SUNWsamfs/examples/mcf  

   2. Edit the mcf file. The file contents should to be similar to the following example, which uses qfs1 as the file system name:

      #
      # Equipment       Equip.  Equip.  Family  Device  Addit.
      # Identifier      Number  Type    Set     State   Params.
      # --------------- -----  ------  ------- -------  -------
      qfs1              10     msqfs1-
      /dev/dsk/c5t16d0s011mdqfs1-
      /dev/dsk/c5t17d0s012mdqfs1-
      /dev/dsk/c5t18d0s013mdqfs1-
      /dev/dsk/c5t19d0s014mdqfs1-
      /dev/dsk/c5t20d0s015mdqfs1-
      /dev/dsk/c5t21d0s016mdqfs1-

2. Create the /etc/vfstab file.

   For example, for a file system named qfs1:

   # DEVICE    DEVICE   MOUNT   FS    FSCK  MOUNT    MOUNT
   #TO MOUNT  TO FSCK  POINT   TYPE  PASS  AT BOOT  PARAMETERS
   #
   qfs1       -        /qfs1   samfs  -    yes

3. Create the mount point and mount the file system. The following series of commands uses qfs1 as the file system names:

   # mkdir /qfs1
   # chmod 755 /qfs1
   # samd config
   # sammkfs qfs1
   # mount qfs1
   # chmod 777 /qfs1
