To create a HiRDB file system area that uses the raw I/O facility, specify the name of the HiRDB file system area in the following format:
- \\.\drive-name:
- For drive-name, specify the letter of the drive that has already been prepared.
- Example
- Create a HiRDB file system area for RDAREAs:
pdfmkfs -n 100 -l 50 -e 1 -k DB \\.\J: |
- Explanation:
- -n: Specifies the size of the HiRDB file system area in MB.

- -e: Specifies the number of HiRDB file extensions permitted for this HiRDB file system area.
- -k: Specifies the purpose of this HiRDB file system area.
