Making a File System

Following are some reasons to make or re-make a file system:

•Creating a new file system

•Removing a stripe group from the file system

•Removing a disk from a stripe group

•Changing a stripe group's stripe breadth

•Changing the sector count of a disk

Caution: Making or re-making a file system will result in a complete loss of user data.

After creating a relation point on a managed file system, you must delete and recreate the file system, not just remake. For information about deleting a file system, see Deleting a File System on page 95. For information about creating a file system, see Adding a File System on page 83.
