How to create file system in AIX

1) Create Log LV (filesystem type jfs2 need loglv for journaling)

Ex:

mklv -y loglvarchive -t jfs2log appvg 1


2) Create LV (Create Logical Volume with filesystem type jfs2)

Ex:

mklv -y lvarchive -t jfs2 appvg 500M


3) Create FileSystem

Ex:

crfs -v jfs2 -d /dev/lvarchive -a log=/dev/loglvarchive -m /Archive

4) Mount the file system

Ex:

mount /Archive
