The vxfsconvert
command can be used to convert a JFS file system to a VxFS file system.
The mkfs
or crfs
commands create a VxFS file system by writing to a special character device file. The special character device must be a Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) volume. mkfs
builds a file system with a root directory and a lost+found
directory.
Before creating a file system, you must create the target device. Refer to your operating system documentation for more information. If you are using a logical device, see the VxVM documentation for instructions on device initialization.
Note
Entries for every file system created by the crfs
command are added to the /etc/filesystems
file. The mkfs
command does not add entries to /etc/filesystems
. Also by using crfs
, the fsck
command can automatically determine the vfs type of a new file system. This eliminates the need to call the VxFS-specific fsck
command (/opt/VRTS/bin/fsck
).
See the vxfsconvert
(1M) manual page.
