AIX - Create Filesystem using SMIT

On AIX you can create a new filesystem easily using the GUI Smit.

In order to do so follow below:
# smit
> system storage management (Physical & logical Storage)
> file systems
> add / change / show / delete file systems
> enhanced journaled file system
> add an enhanced journaled file system
> <choose volume group>
> <size> Gigs
> <number of units> 2
> <mount point>
> <mount automatically> yes
> [enter]
> F10 to exit when complete


# mount <file system>
# vi /etc/filesystems
(rearrange newly created filesystem to where you wish it to appear when doing a df)
