CL Command List > CRTUDFS Reference
Description:
The Create User-Defined File System (CRTUDFS) command creates a file system that can be made visible to the rest of the integrated file system name space through the Add Mounted File System (ADDMFS) or MOUNT command.
A UDFS is represented by the object type *BLKSF, or block special file.
Restrictions:
1. The user must have input/output (I/O) system configuration (*IOSYSCFG) special authority to use this command.
2. The audit (*AUDIT) special authority is required when specifying a value other than *SYSVAL on the Auditing value for objects (CRTOBJAUD) parameter.
3. The user must have all object (*ALLOBJ) and security administrator (*SECADM) special authorities to specify a value for the Scanning option for objects (CRTOBJSCAN) parameter other than *PARENT.
4. A maximum of approximately 4,000 user-defined file systems can be created on an independent auxiliary storage pool (ASP).
Examples:
Example 1: Create UDFS in System ASP
CRTUDFS UDFS(¡¯/dev/QASP01/joe.udfs) TEXT(¡¯Joe Smith¡¯)
This command creates a user-defined file system (UDFS) named joe.udfs in the system auxiliary storage pool (ASP 1).
Example 2: Create UDFS in ASP 3
