Making a new media file system on a K2 Summit/Solo
If your SNFS file system name is currently “default”, when you make a new file system the name
changes to “gvfs_hostname”, where hostname is the name of the stand-alone K2 system. Also,
Storage Utility creates unique disk labels, which is a requirement for compatibility with Dyno PA.

2. If online, messages appear “…offline mode now?” and “…continue?”. Click Yes to put the
system in offline mode.
AppCenter channels go offline. The Configuration File window opens.
3. You can view media file system settings, but do not attempt to change them. Click Accept .
A “Making new file system. Please wait” message box displays progress.

SNFS file system volume is configured correctly on the Macintosh systems. Refer to K2 FCP
