This toggle button indicates that the directory specified in the Mount Point field should be created if it does not exist. Only the final component of the directory path may be created. If there are missing parent directories, the mount point is not created and an error message is displayed.

This toggle button indicates that the filesystem should be mounted immediately after it is created.

This is a text field to specify the owner for the directory specified in the Mount Point field. This field is available only if the Create Directory toggle button is checked.

This is a text field to specify the user group for the directory specified in the Mount Point field. This field is available only if the Create Directory toggle button is checked.

This is a text field to specify the octal permission mode for the directory specified in the Mount Point field. This field is available only if the Create Directory toggle button is checked.

This option menu determines how the value in the Blocks text field is interpreted. The following options are available:

This text field allows you to specify the size of blocks in the filesystem. A default size is provided. Enter the value desired in this text field.

This option menu determines how the value in the Inodes text field is interpreted. The following options are available:

This text field allows you to specify the size of inodes in the filesystem. A default size is provided. Enter the value desired in this text field.

This text field allows you to specify the desired size of the data subvolume for this filesystem. A default value is provided.

This text field allows you to specify the desired size of the log subvolume for this filesystem. A default value is provided.

This button indicates that the log subvolume should be a part of the data subvolume. For XFS filesystems whose underlying disk resource is a disk partition rather than a logical volume, this field is always true.

This text field allows you to specify the desired size of the RT subvolume for this filesystem. This field is visible only when the underlying disk resource for the XFS filesystem is a logical volume that has an RT subvolume defined.

This text field allows you to specify the desired block size of the RT subvolume for this filesystem. This field is visible only when the underlying disk resource for the XFS filesystem is a volume that has an RT subvolume defined. A default value is provided.

This button indicates the filesystem is readable.

This button indicates the filesystem is writable.

This button indicates that the filesystem should be mounted whenever a mount -a command is issued by root.

This button indicates that files created within this filesystem will receive the group ID of their parent directory rather than the group ID of the creating process.

This button indicates that `setuid' execution is not allowed for non super-users (root).

This button indicates that users are not allowed to read or list character and block special device files for this filesystem.

This button indicates that disk quotas are enforced on this filesystem.

This button indicates that mkfs(1M) should write the superblock only, without touching other areas of the filesystem. This allows a final recovery attempt for a filesystem if the superblock has been destroyed.

This button indicates that the inodes and data for the filesystem should be aligned on disk cylinder boundaries. This may result in some loss of filesystem space, but may also increase performance (approximately 2%) on drives that have a fixed number of sectors per track. Many SCSI disk drives do not have a fixed number of sectors per track, and therefore see no benefit from this option.

This text field allows you to specify the desired number of inodes for this filesystem. If this field is left empty, the default number of inodes are created.

This text field allows you to specify the desired number of physical disk blocks that the filesystem occupies. If this field is left empty, the maximum number of blocks (based upon the size of the underlying disk resource) are created.

This text field allows you to specify the desired number of sectors per track. If this field is left empty a default value is provided.

This text field allows you to specify the desired size of each cylinder group (in blocks). If this field is left empty, a default value is used.

This text field allows you to specify the boundary (in disk blocks) to which each cylinder group should be aligned. If this field is left empty, a default value is used.

This text field allows you to specify the boundary (in disk blocks) to which each cylinder group's inode list should be aligned. If this field is left empty, a default value is used.

This text field allows you to specify the dump frequency (in days) for backup purposes. If this field is left empty, a default value is used.

This text field allows you to specify the pass number used during parallel fsck(1M) execution. If this field is left empty, a default value is used.

This field takes a user ID number to be used as the effective UID if a request comes from a host for UID 0 (root) or from a host using null authentication.

This button indicates that the filesystem should be exported as read-only.

This button indicates that all write actions to the filesystem should be synchronous. This ensures that data is reliably written to the filesystem. However, there is some cost in performance.

This button indicates that a client host that mounts this filesystem's parent filesystem should also have access to the files in this filesystem.

This is a scrolled list of hostnames at the bottom right of this screen section. The names on this list represent the hosts that may receive this exported filesystem.

Double-clicking on a name in the list adds that host to the chosen list on the left panel in the screen section.

This is a scrolled list of the hosts that will receive this exported filesystem. The items in the list are arranged in two columns. The first column contains one of two values: rw or root, indicating full read and write access and root-only access, respectively. This value indicates how the filesystem is to be exported to the host name displayed in the second column.

Double-clicking on an item in the list removes that item from the chosen list.

By pressing the right mouse button when the mouse cursor is inside the chosen list, you can display a popup menu. The popup menu contains two entries: rw and root. When one of these entries is chosen, the value for the first column of any selected items in the list is changed to that value.

The option menu located between the host list and the chosen list defines the value of the first column of the chosen list for hostnames that are added to that list. There are two possible values: rw and root.

There are two arrow buttons located between the host list and the chosen list that provide another method for adding and removing items from the chosen list.

To add items to the chosen list, select one or more hostnames from the host list and press the left arrow button (the one that points to the chosen list).

To remove items from the chosen list, select one or more hostnames from the chosen list and press the right arrow button (the one that points to the host list).
