Create IBM Storwize File System

Summary
Create IBM Storwize File System
Description
This task creates a cluster file system. A file system is the physical structure that an operating system uses to store and organize files on a storage system. The block size and replication affects file system performance. The minimum supported physical capacity (size on disk) for a filesystem is 100GB. This provides the base file system and global namespace from which shares and exports can be created. Therefore, each file system comprises a structure of directories or paths that are based on a single root. Any of these directories can be used to create a share or export.
