F.1. Creating JFS file systems
JFS file systems can be created with mkfs on any EVMS
or compatibility volume (at least 16 MB in size) that does not already
have a file system. The following options are available for creating
JFS file systems:
- badblocks
Perform a read-only check for bad blocks on the volume
before creating the file system. The default is false.
- caseinsensitive
Mark the file system as case-insensitive (for OS/2 compatibility).
The default is false.
- vollabel
Specify a volume label for the file system. The default is none.
- journalvol
Specify the volume to use for an external journal. This option
is only available with version 1.0.20 or later of the JFS utilities.
The default is none.
- logsize
Specify the inline log size (in MB). This option is only available if
the journalvol option is not set. The default is 0.4% of the size of
the volume up to 32 MB.
