help with /etc/filesystems
|
|
|
| Hi all,
I am moving from AIX to Solaris, on AIX we use /etc/filesystem to
centralizes file system characteristics. Most of the file system
maintenance commands take their defaults from this file. Here is the
AIX docs link
http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/aix/fi...filesystems.htm
Can some body explain what is the similar configuration file on
Solaris,
Thanks in advance,
Seema Rao

Rather than answering one of many questions, I will point you to a
table of many equivalencies.

There is no exact equivalent in Solaris. Standard ufs file system
management commands are in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin, configuration info
is in /etc/vfstab and the devices are in /dev/dsk and /dev/rdsk
If you are running Veritas volume management and Veritas file system,
then they are in /dev/vx/dsk and /dev/vx/rdsk, the commands are ii
VRTSvxvm which is probably in /opt and the state database is
maintained by Veritas in multiple locations and also on the devices
them selves. The volumes are entered in /etc/vfstab
If you are using Solaris Volume Managment, the commands are in
/usr/sbin and are the meta series of commands (metadb, metastat etc. )
and the state infomration is configured accross multiple drives. The
mount information is in /etc/vfstab.
ZFS is another thing altogether and you use the commands zpool and zfs
to configure, maintain and display the volume information. zfs stores
the data in the pool. No entries are made in /etc/vfstab
