container 0.

Understanding Adding a File System in a UNIX Environment
Using the CLI to add a file system on a container is not supported in
a UNIX Environment.
Extending a File System
The CLI allows you to extend the NTFS file system. This feature
extends a file system so that it occupies an entire reconfigured
container. When you extend a file system, the container size does
not change. You use the
container reconfigure
command to
extend a file system.
You usually use the
container reconfigure
command after
extending a container (by adding a level to it with the
container
add_level
command and, possibly, by extending it with the
container extend mvolume
command).
If you extend an NTFS file system, you must reboot your system to
make the extension take effect.
To work with extending a file system on a container, you must
understand:
■
The extend file system attributes you can specify
■
