Adding a file system to a container in a UNIX environment

The following sections discuss each of these topics.

Understanding the File System Attributes You can Specify

You use the

container format

command to add a file system to a

container. Before adding a file system to a container, consider the
following attributes you can specify:

Label

File system

Compressed file system

Allocation size

Quick format

Wait

Specifying a Container Label

The

label

attribute indicates a label (up to 32 characters) that is

assigned to the file system.

In the following example, the

container format

command with

the /label switch adds the label Mercury to the file system on the
container that resides on on drive F.

HPN0> container format /label=Mercury F

Executing: container format /label="Mercury" "F"

Specifying the File System

The

file system

attribute indicates the file system to use on the

container. You can specify an NTFS, FAT, or FAT32 file system. This
attribute is supported on Windows NT and Windows 2000 (basic
disk) only.

In the following example, the

container format

command with

the /file_system switch adds the NTFS file system to a container
that resides on drive F.

HPN0> container format /file_system=NTFS F

Executing: container format /file_system="NTFS" "F"
