Change Solaris Filesystems

This option may be used to change any of the settings for the Solaris filesystems, which vary depending on the
filesystem type. SBAdmin Backup Administrator supports the following filesystem types:

ufs

Universal File System (Solaris default)

udfs

Universal Disk Format File System

pcfs

PC Filesystem (DOS/VFAT)

zfs

Zettabyte File System (refer to

ZFS Filesystems

)

Virtually any of the attributes which are available for the filesystems above can be set or changed from the
SBAdmin installation menus. When you select this option you will receive a list of filesystems currently defined:

ZFS filesystems do not appear in this list, and are not covered in this section. Refer
to the

ZFS Filesystems

section for additional information.

Select Add New to create a new filesystem or select an existing filesystem from the list. If you select to add a
new filesystem, you are first prompted for the new mount point, or directory, for this new filesystem and the
device on which to build the filesystem.

Next, a screen similar to the following will appear:

The options displayed here are for a “ufs” filesystem. If you change to a different filesystem type, the options
will change as well. We won’t describe the options in detail since you have much information available with the
F1 (help) key. Also use the F4 key to show lists of available options.

The options common to all filesystems are:

Create Option – Here you can press F4 to select Create the filesystem only, or Create it and restore the
data
, or Delete (filesystem will not be created or restored). Although the filesystem data may be on the backup,
you can choose to create the filesystem without actually restoring the data into it.
