/HOMEBLOCKS=option Applies to Files-11 On-Disk Structure Level 2 (ODS-2) and Level 5 (ODS-5) disks only. Specifies where the volume's homeblock and spare copy of the homeblock are placed on disk. The value of option can be one of the following: o GEOMETRY Causes the homeblocks to be placed at separate locations on disk, to protect against failure of a disk block. Placement depends on the reported geometry of the disk. o FIXED (default) Causes the homeblocks to be placed at separate fixed locations on the disk. Placement is independent of the reported geometry of the disk. This caters to disks that report different geometries according to which type of controller they are attached to. o CONTIGUOUS Causes the homeblocks to be placed contiguously at the start of the disk. When used with the /INDEX=BEGINNING qualifier, this setting allows container file systems to maximize the amount of contiguous space on the disk, for example, to hold one large file, such as a database.
