I'm currently in the process of adding to our AFS cell, we have some new RS6K E-30's with 4 18.2GB drives. When creating the VG's we had set our PPs to 32MB. Here is the configuration via the lsvg command: # lsvg -l AFSvg2 AFSvg2: LV NAME TYPE LPs PPs PVs LV STATE MOUNT POINT loglv01 jfslog 1 1 1 open/syncd N/A lv02 jfs 540 540 1 open/syncd /vicepc # lsvg AFSvg2 VOLUME GROUP: AFSvg2 VG IDENTIFIER: 0035804a82ad3d0c VG STATE: active PP SIZE: 32 megabyte(s) VG PERMISSION: read/write TOTAL PPs: 542 (17344 megabytes) MAX LVs: 256 FREE PPs: 1 (32 megabytes) LVs: 2 USED PPs: 541 (17312 megabytes) OPEN LVs: 2 QUORUM: 2 TOTAL PVs: 1 VG DESCRIPTORS: 2 STALE PVs: 0 STALE PPs 0 ACTIVE PVs: 1 AUTO ON: yes My main question is this, when creating the File system, in this example /vicepc, what are the best values to set in the following fields in SMIT: Fragment Size (bytes) 4096 + Number of bytes per inode 4096 + Allocation Group Size (MBytes) 8 + Second, would it be better to create the logical volumes first, then create the File System (which can create the lv's automatically if they don't exist). And if so, what would be some recommended values. Thanks -Rob Robert W.
