Step 6
Verify that the volume is using the correct partition type:
linux:~ # parted -- /dev/sdb print
Disk geometry for /dev/sdb: 0kB - 10TB
Disk label type: gpt
Number Start End
Information: Do not forget to update /etc/fstab, if necessary.
Make sure that the disk label type is set to GPT. After creating the GPT partition
table, use the standard following methods for partitioning and formatting the
partitions.
Use the SUSE YaST to partition, format, and configure repositories. If any of the
volumes are greater than 2TiB you must first follow the steps above to create a
GPT partition table on each volume. Cisco recommends using the XFS file system
for optimal video recording performance.
Procedure
Open the YaST Control Center.\
Navigate to System, Partitioner.
Enter Yes to create new partitions as required for video storage. The creation
process may take some time.
Choose Create and set the FileSystem = XFS and MountPoint = /media#.
Choose Apply, Finish, Quit, and Quit.
Change ownership of the mounted partitions to nobody.nobody.
shell> chown nobody.nobody /media1
