A UNIX File System (UFS) will be created on all partitions that you check.

File system creation uses the newfs command, which calculates all the appropriate parameters for creating the UFS file system on this partition.

You will need to mount each file system before using the new partitions. As super user mount the UFS file system by using the mount command. (A mount point is a directory to which the mounted file system is attached.)

# mount [-o mount-options] /dev/dsk/device-name mount-point

For example, the following command mounts /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s7 on the /files1 directory.

# mount /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s7 /files1
