Locate patch to create file system with VxFS v4.1

#uname -a; model
HP-UX B.11.11 9000/800/L3000-7x
########################################

I'm looking for a patch to apply to my current
11.11 system, so I can create a filesystem with VxFS v4.1 which reports disk layout of v6.


I understand the following to be true:

fstyp reports the file system disk layout version, NOT the version of the VxFS software. So 11.23 actually runs v3.5 of VxFS but reports a disk layout of v5 The new release of VxFS v4.1 reports a disk layout of v6.

Is this possible ?

Hello Jerry,

The filesystem layout versions are NOT the same as the version numvers of vxfs

vxfs v 3.x intorduced filelayout v4
vxfs v 3.5 introducted filelayout v5
vxfs v4.1 which I've never touched introducted filelayout v6 I guess.

You don't need a patch.

You need to read some more.

Have fun.

Re: Locate patch to create file system with VxFS v4.1

Sorry , I asked the wrong question. I meant to ask :
1) What command will list the VxFS version
2)If I can mix VxFS versions on the same OS

I want to create a filesystem with VxFS v4.1
on my 11.11 OS

To my knowledge, VxVM 4.1 is not yet available on HP-UX 11.11
