Creating The Mount Directories; Creating The Mount Table; Verifying File System Operation - HP StorageWorks XP10000 - Disk Array Configuration Manual

Creating the mount directories

Create mount directories using the mkdir command. Choose names for the mount directories which
identify both the logical volume and partition.
1. Enter mkdir /mnt/mount_point.
Example
# mkdir /mnt/A5700F_LU00
2. Repeat step 1 for each device on the disk array.

Creating the mount table

Add the new devices to the /etc/fstab file to specify the automount parameters for each device.
1. Edit the /etc/fstab file to add one line for each device to be automounted.
Each line of the file contains: (A) device name, (B) mount point, (C) file system type ("ext2"), (D)
mount options ("defaults"), (E) enhance parameter ("1"), and (F) fsck pass 2.
Example
/dev/sdb
/dev/sdc
/dev/sdd
A
Make an entry for each device. After all the entries are made, save the file and exit the editor.
2. Reboot the system.
3. Display the mounted devices using the df
automounted.
Example
# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Used% Mounted on
/dev/sda1
/dev/sdb1
/dev/sdc1
#

Verifying file system operation

Verify file system operation by copying a file to each device.
