Error Message

 

 

In attempting to perform a quick test with minimal use of storage, a volume 1MB in size was created:

# mkfs -Fvxfs /dev/vx/rdsk/swdg/test2

UX:vxfs mkfs: ERROR: V-3-24688: initial allocation requirement is 1352 blocks,

UX:vxfs mkfs: ERROR: V-3-24689: only 1024 allocatable blocks available

UX:vxfs mkfs: ERROR: V-3-21036: cannot create file system

Issue was that the volume/filesystem was too small to contain metadata, such as the intent log, such that more space was needed than the size of the original volume.

Once the volume and filesystem was remade at 10MB, no error resulted.
