4.3.4 Example 2 (creating a HiRDB file system area for system files)

The following shows an example of creating a HiRDB file system area for system files:

Example
Create a HiRDB file system area for system files:

pdfmkfs -n 50 -l 20 -k SYS -i C:\sysarea01

Explanation:
-n: Specifies the size of the HiRDB file system area in MB.
-l: Specifies the maximum number of files that can be created in this HiRDB file system area.
-k: Specifies the purpose of this HiRDB file system area.
This example specifies SYS because this HiRDB file system area is for system files.
-i: Specifies that the entire HiRDB file system area is to be initialized.
When the -i option is specified, the system allocates the entire area. When the -i option is omitted, the system creates only the management information for the HiRDB file system area.
C:\sysarea01: Specifies the name of the HiRDB file system area to be created.

After the command has executed, the execution results should be checked for errors. For details about how to check command execution results, see the manual HiRDB Version 9 Command Reference.
