<h1 class="topictitle1">Manage Linux drives</h1>
<div><p>This topic discuses how to manage your Linux<sup>®</sup> drives using iSeries™ Navigator and CL commands.</p>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Managing Linux drives using iSeries Navigator</h4><p>You can manage Linux disk
drive operations using the iSeries Navigator - Integrated Server Administration
- All Virtual Disks interface.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Managing Linux drives using CL commands</h4><p>You can manage Linux disk
drive operations using the Work with Network Server Storage Spaces (WRKNWSSTG)
CL command through the <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> command-line
interface. The WRKNWSSTG CL command displays a list of the Linux and Windows<sup>®</sup> storage
spaces, and is similar to the Integrated Server Administration - All Virtual
Disks option of iSeries Navigator.</p>
<p>In
addition to listing the storage spaces, this display shows additional information
for each storage space, including:</p>
<div class="tablenoborder"><table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" summary="" frame="border" border="1" rules="all"><caption>Table 1. Storage

<tr><td valign="top" headers="d0e69 ">Format</td>
<td valign="top" headers="d0e71 ">The nominal format of the storage space A drive that
has not been formatted by Linux shows up in green screen with the nominal format
you specified when you created the drive (*FAT, *FAT32, *NTFS or *OPEN). It
is a nominal format because, in reality, the drive must be formatted by Linux before
it can be used. We recommend that you specify *OPEN as the nominal
format.<p>The actual Linux format is not reported. This is because the implementation
of Linux integration
support does not know about Linux formats such as ext2 and ext3. Given
that we recommend that you always create storage spaces using the *OPEN format,
all Linux drives
should appear as *OPEN whether they are formatted by Linux or not.
The exceptions are the system and installation drives that are always reported
by the Linux integration
code as *FAT32 and *FAT respectively.</p>
