HFS on VxVM?

[maxwell_smart]

Hello,

I'd like to know if it is possible or supported to build an HFS within Veritas Volume Manager. Perhaps this makes no sense since JFS offers the best features, but just to complete the matrix I'm posting this question.

Hi Xavier,

Yes this is possible, vxvm will create the volumes, "newfs -F FStype" will determine the actual fs format (vxfs, hfs).

Regards,

Shalom Xavier,

Sure its possible, mkfs or newfs will do what you tell it to do.

You must be certain you need it, however its ability to recover from problems is far inferior to vxfs, the journaled filesystem.

Hi Xavier:

Be aware taht HFS filesystems are deprecated (despite having limitations that are far eclipsed by VxFS filesystems). See:
