The way that I have read this is that when advfs needs to allocate new BMT's on the fly, it will stop and wait whilst this process is carried out. Have I mis-interpreted this? Is this just during the initial 'mkfdmn' command execution?

Subject: Message when using 'mkfdmn'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- --
The man page for 'mkfdmn' states:
It takes about one minute to process 5000 BMT extent size pages with the
-x option. A process that initiates a BMT extent size operation must
take into account that very large values for -x will take a long time to
complete.
When creating a domain with the following parameters :
mkfdmn -x 32768 /dev/rzb40c raidr1
we get an warning message stating that it could take 6 minutes to extend
the BMT.
Does anyone have any experience of what implications this has in real
life ... ?
Regards,
Bryan.
