NEWFS_V7FS(8) BSD System Manager's Manual NEWFS_V7FS(8)NAME
newfs_v7fs -- construct a new 7th Edition(V7) File System
SYNOPSIS
newfs_v7fs [-FZ] [-B byte-order] [-n inodes] [-s sectors] [-V verbose] special
DESCRIPTION
newfs_v7fs builds a 7th Edition(V7) file system on the specified special. If it is a device, the size information will be taken from the
disk label and before running newfs_v7fs the disk must be labeled using disklabel(8); the proper fstype is ``Version 7''. Otherwise, the
size must be specified on the command line. V7 filesystem's block size and sector size are 512 byte. Disk address limits are 24 bit.
The following arguments are supported:
-B byte-order Specify the metadata byte order of the file system to be created. Valid byte orders are 'be', 'le', and 'pdp'. If no byte
order is specified, the file system is created in host byte order.
-F Create file system to a regular file (needs the -s option).
-n inodes This specifies the number of inodes for the filesystem. If the number of inodes exceeds 65536, it is reduced to 65536.
-s sectors Create file system with specified number of disk sectors.
-V verbose This controls the amount of information written to stdout:
0 No output.
1 Overall size, ilist size, endian and filename length.
2 A progress bar.
3
4 More verbose message.
The default is 3.
-Z Fill file with zeroes instead of creating a sparse file.

MOUNT_V7FS(8) BSD System Manager's Manual MOUNT_V7FS(8)NAME
mount_v7fs -- mount a 7th Edition(V7) File System
SYNOPSIS
mount_v7fs [-B byte-order] [-o options] special node
DESCRIPTION
The mount_v7fs command attaches the 7th Edition(V7) File System on the special device on to the file system tree at point node. Both special
and node are converted to absolute paths before use.
This command is normally executed by mount(8) at boot time. The options are as follows:
-B byte-order Specify the metadata byte order of the file system. Valid byte orders are 'be', 'le', and 'pdp'. If no byte order is speci-
fied, the file system is mounted in host byte order.
-o Options are specified with a -o flag followed by a comma separated string of options. See the mount(8) man page for possible
options and their meanings.

The v7fs support is still experimental.

Hi Folks,
This one has me a bit confused.
I have a large system running Reliant 5.45 with an EMC 3930 disk array fibre attached. As part of our requirement I implemented host level mirroring in addition to the BCV functionality provided by the 3930.
When the mirrors are split and the... (0 Replies)
Does anyone know what command I can run to check how many inodes are in use on a specific filesystem. On Data General servers I used to run the df -k command to check the status of the inodes for all file system.s (1 Reply)
My program would be creating a file, incase of non data from database it would only able to produce 'END, logically it would be file created by oracle in unix.
this file is showing zero byte but actully there are 4 char in file.This is not required, therefore what is command line should be... (0 Replies)
Is there a way to determine the number of available spare sectors on a disk ? as it may be useful for notifying a user to take a backup of the disk before it runs into a medium error. (6 Replies)
Hello.
I just installed a SCO Openserver 6 box and it's suckin' mud.
sar -v (see below) shows something that has me quite concerned... after time, it shows that the number of inodes being used as a negative value. When this happens, the server runs extremely slow until I reboot. The server... (0 Replies)
I read the manual about the dd and the example and I have seen the use of the bs option, the byte size.
However how can you know that you need to use it and how can you know what size to give it?
like in wwikipedia they give the following:
but why 4096 and why mention it at all (3 Replies)
Hello everyone,
I have many VGs on my system. I have created them whith the same command. I haven't specified the PP size while creating them. Logically, the PP size should be the same (default value) in all the VGs. However, I have different PP size : 32 MB, 256 MB, 64 MB and 128 MB.

AIX Version 6.1 and 7.1.
I understand that when the OS initially creates the FS and inodes, its pretty strict, but not always tuned to a 1:1 ratio. I see the same thing when adding a whole disk LV to a separate device.
It seems that when we expand a filesystem the inodes don't get tuned... (5 Replies)
