AeroLab supports automated disk discovery and partitioning. The partitioner has 4 options:
Commands | Description |
---|---|
cluster partition list |
List disks and partitions on all/chosen nodes. |
cluster partition create |
Create partitions on disks. This will also remove any previous partitions and filesystems on the chosen disks. |
cluster partition mkfs |
Make filesystems on chosen partitions, automatically mount in /mnt , and add the mountpoint to fstab . |
cluster partition conf |
Adjust Aerospike configuration to reflect newly created partitions. Supports devices, shadow devices and all-flash devices. |
Each command accepts filters where disks/partitions to affect can be chosen. The filters are exclusive, meaning that for a disk/partition to be selected, it must satisfy all filters.
:::note
Any disks with partitions mounted to /
or /boot*
are excluded from any listing or partition/disk number assignment and are not displayed or considered by AeroLab.

Filter | Description |
---|---|
--filter-type |
Filter by disk type. Available options are nvme or ebs . If set, selects all NVME disks, or all EBS disks. Commands which don’t specify a disk type apply to all disks. |
--filter-disks |
Filter by disk number. AeroLab assigns disk numbers by disk name, in alphabetical order. |
--filter-partitions |
Filter by partition number. AeroLab assigns each partition a number, starting from 1 for each disk. |
--filter-type=nvme
: Take action on all NVME disks.--filter-disks=1-3
: Take action on disks 1-3.--filter-partitions=1,2
: Take action on partitions 1 and 2 on all disks.--filter-type=nvme --filter-partitions=1,2
: Take action on partitions 1 and 2 only on NVME disks.--filter-disks=1-3 --filter-partitions=1
: Take action on partition 1 on disks 1-3.
