Files in the folder aren’t moved to the new storage pool. To move the files that were in
the folder to a storage pool with the new affinity tag, use the
snfsdefrag
command-
line tool in Terminal. For information and an example, see the
snfsdefrag
man page.
Remove an affinity
You can undo a folder’s affinity for a storage pool by choosing None for the folder affinity.
Remove the affinity from a folder:
1
In Xsan Admin, select File Management in the SAN Assets list.
2
Select the folder, choose Set Affinity from the Action pop-up menu (gear), and then
choose None for the affinity.
Change advanced volume settings
If your SAN volume has special configuration requirements, you can change the
standard volume settings when you create a volume. You can also change these
settings for an existing volume, except for the block allocation size and disabling the
extended attributes option. (Once enabled, extended attributes can’t be disabled.)
Note: To change a volume’s block allocation size or disable extended attributes, you
must destroy and recreate the volume.
