4.3 Creating HiRDB file system areas

Executor: HiRDB administrator

Use the pdfmkfs command to create an area where you can create HiRDB files (HiRDB file system area). A regular file or character special file is used to create a HiRDB file system area.

Files in a file system that accesses files over a network such as NFS cannot be used as HiRDB file system areas.
