Chapter 6 Managing the File System

 

 

 

 

Working With Disks

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Caution: Deleting a disk used in a stripe group results in a complete

 

 

 

 

 

loss of user data and requires re-making the file system.

 

 

 

 

 

For information on re-making the file system, refer to

 

 

 

 

 

Making or Unmaking a File System on page 105.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1

From the SNFS home page, choose Disks from the Config menu. The

 

 

 

 

Manage Disks screen (figure 67) appears.

 

2

Select from the File Systems drop-down menu the file system that

 

 

 

 

contains the disk you want to delete.

 

3

Select from the Disks list the disk you want to delete.

 

4

Click Delete. A message asks you to confirm that you want to delete

 

 

 

 

the disk.

 

5

Click OK to proceed with the deletion. The Delete Disk status screen

 

 

 

 

appears.

 

6

After the status screen indicates that the disk has been deleted, click

 

 

 

 

Close.

 

 

This procedure describes how to defragment a disk using the

Defragmenting a Disk

 

snfsdefrag utility to relocate SNFS file data into a single, pre-allocated

 

 

 

 

extent. Reducing the number of extents in a file improves system

 

 

performance by minimizing disk head movement when I/O occurs. You

 

 

can defragment a single file or multiple files, perform a recursive

 

 

defragment on files in a directory, or defragment the entire file system.

 

1

Log onto a metadata controller as root. The metadata controller is the

 

 

 

 

computer where the StorNext server (not the client) is installed.

 

2

Do one of the following:

 

 

 

 

• To defragment a single file or a list of files, type:

/usr/cvfs/bin/snfsdefrag <filename> [filename ....]

• To perform a recursive defragment on files in a directory, type: /usr/cvfs/bin/snfsdefrag -r <directory_name>

If the directory_name value is equal to the mount point, then the entire StorNext file system is defragmented.
