Description Wesley Duffee-Braun 2016-05-21 05:13:48 UTC
Document URL: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Storage/3.1/html/Administration_Guide/Formatting_and_Mounting_Bricks.html#idp31546784

Section Number and Name: 
6.4.1 Creating Bricks Manually -> Formatting and Mounting Bricks -> Step 1

Describe the issue: 
Incorrect suffix for the sunit value leads to error.

# mkfs.xfs -f -i size=512 -n size=8192 -d su=128K,sw=10 /dev/rhs_vg/rhs_lv
data su must be a multiple of the sector size (512)

Suggestions for improvement: 
Change the K in 128K to the lower-case k. This resolves the issue and the mkfs command completes successfully.

Hi Wesley,

You should be able to see the corrected version of this document at the following link:

http://ccs-jenkins.gsslab.brq.redhat.com:8080/job/doc-Red_Hat_Gluster_Storage-3.2-Administration_Guide-branch-bz1338053-mkfs-unit-correction/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/tmp/en-US/html-single/index.html#Formatting_and_Mounting_Bricks

The section in question is under ⁠6.4.1. Creating Bricks Manually, in the 'Formatting and Mounting Bricks' subsection.

Can you confirm that this command works the way you need it to?
