Play with soft partitions on Solaris part 3

Creation of soft partitions

1. Create on soft partition of 3 gigabytes with name d51 and another with size 1.5G and name d52

# metainit d51 -p d5 3g
d51: Soft Partition is setup
# metainit d52 -p d5 1500m
d52: Soft Partition is setup


2. Check the status of d52 for example

# metastat d52
d52: Soft Partition
    Device: d5
    State: Okay
    Size: 3072000 blocks (1.5 GB)
        Extent              Start Block              Block count
             0                  6291520                  3072000

d5: RAID
    State: Okay
    Interlace: 32 blocks
    Size: 33091584 blocks (15 GB)
Original device:
    Size: 33094272 blocks (15 GB)
        Device     Start Block  Dbase        State Reloc  Hot Spare

3. Create filesystems

# newfs /dev/md/rdsk/d51
Warning: setting rpm to 60
newfs: construct a new file system /dev/md/rdsk/d51: (y/n)? y
/dev/md/rdsk/d51:       6291456 sectors in 1536 cylinders of 128 tracks, 32 sectors
        3072.0MB in 62 cyl groups (25 c/g, 50.00MB/g, 8192 i/g)
super-block backups (for fsck -F ufs -o b=#) at:
 32, 102464, 204896, 307328, 409760, 512192, 614624, 717056, 819488, 921920,
 5326496, 5428928, 5531360, 5633792, 5736224, 5838656, 5941088, 6043520,
 6145952, 6248384
 
# newfs /dev/md/rdsk/d52
Warning: setting rpm to 60
newfs: construct a new file system /dev/md/rdsk/d52: (y/n)? y
/dev/md/rdsk/d52:       3072000 sectors in 750 cylinders of 128 tracks, 32 sectors
        1500.0MB in 33 cyl groups (23 c/g, 46.00MB/g, 11264 i/g)
super-block backups (for fsck -F ufs -o b=#) at:
 32, 94272, 188512, 282752, 376992, 471232, 565472, 659712, 753952, 848192,
 2167552, 2261792, 2356032, 2450272, 2544512, 2638752, 2732992, 2827232,
 2921472, 3015712


4. Then create mountpoints, mount filesystems and check the mount

# mkdir /oradata /oralogs
# mount /dev/md/dsk/d51 /oradata
# mount /dev/md/dsk/d52 /oralogs
# df -k|grep md
/dev/md/dsk/d51      3081231    3089 3016518     1%    /oradata
/dev/md/dsk/d52      1488991    1521 1427911     1%    /oralogs
