Create moolux save
how to make a 1Gb mooluxsave.
This makes a file filled with zero’s called “mooluxsave” in
/mnt/sdb1/MooLux/save
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sdb1/MooLux/save/mooluxsave bs=1k count=1000000
Now we put a filesystem on it with
mkfs.xfs /mnt/sdb1/MooLux/save/mooluxsave
That’s all there is to it! A note regarding mkfs.xfs might be useful. This command has lots of possible arguements to tailor the filesystem but I find the default works best – i.e. without any arguements. Now just add the “changes=” line and everything should work!
