Xraid-Formatting

If you need to rebuild an Xraid set from scratch, you will need to add a disk label and set up partitions. Use the following recipe carefully - these operations will completely destroy all information currently on the drives so make sure you have the correct device before starting.

• Create a disk label and primary partition using parted /dev/sdX

 -> mlabel gpt
 -> mkpart primary 0 -0
 -> quit

• Create an XFS filesystem with mkfs.xfs -f -l size=64m -L "LABL V001" /dev/sdX1"
