Chapter 6 Managing the File System
Checking the File System
Here are the steps required for expanding a file system and moving stripe groups:
1Check the file system before you begin. (See Checking the File System on page 148.)
2Expand the file system. (See Performing File System Expansion on page 150.)
3Move data stripe groups or metadata/journal stripe groups. (See Performing Stripe Group Movement on page 157.)
4Mark source stripe groups as down. (See Modifying a Stripe Group on page 117.)
Checking the File System
Before you perform either File System Expansion or Stripe Group Movement, you must first perform a check on the file system you plan to use for these features. This operation could take a significant amount of time depending on the size of the file system, so plan accordingly.
Use the following procedure to perform a file system check.
1From the SNFS home page, choose Check File System from the Admin menu. The Check File System screen appears.
