VXFS file system

[Scunningham99]

Hi

I have a preconfigured server using devices mounted on "/dev/vx" filesystem.

I have been informed that this has been set up incorrectly as the block size is only set to 1k (which is apparently the default) instead of 8k.

We have another server using ufs fielesystem. When we copy from one to the other can anyone forsee any problems.

What impact will it have changing from 1k to 8k?? and how would you do this. I dont even know how to invvoke the gui.

the results from "pkginfo | grep VERITAS" are as follows :-

utilities VRTSdbed VERITAS Database Edition for Oracle
system VRTSfsdoc VERITAS File System Documentation
application VRTSfspro VERITAS File System Management Services Provider
system VRTSlic VERITAS Licensing Utilities
application VRTSob VERITAS Enterprise Administrator Service
application VRTSobgui VERITAS Enterprise Administrator
system VRTSodm VERITAS Oracle Disk Manager
system VRTSordoc VERITAS Database Edition for Oracle Documentation
application VRTSorgui VERITAS Database Edition Graphical User Interface for
Oracle
application VRTSvlic VERITAS License Utilities
system VRTSvmdoc VERITAS Volume Manager (user documentation)
system VRTSvmman VERITAS Volume Manager, Manual Pages
application VRTSvmpro VERITAS Volume Manager Management Services Provider
system VRTSvxfs VERITAS File System
system VRTSvxmsa VxMS - VERITAS Mapping Service, Application Libraries
.
system VRTSvxvm VERITAS Volume Manager, Binaries

NOTE: We also have an oracle 8i database installed on this server!

SIMPLIFIED.......SORRY!!

I HAVE AN EXISTING FILE SYSTEM. HOW CAN I CHECK HOW MANY BYTES THE BLOCK IS SET TO FOR AN EXISTING CREATED FILE SYSTEM!!

I UNDERSTAND NEWFS -nV HOWEVER HOW DO I CHECK AN EXISTING FILESYSTEM /USER01. HOW CAN I CHECK HOW MANY BLOCKS IT IS USING

U have to be root to run this command

mkfs -m /dev/dsk/c?t?d?s?

for xecuting the gui of LVM search for the following command
vmsa (in its installation bin directory)

Have Fun
