HFS/UFS Documentation

[Murat SULUHAN]

Hi

I am looking for a good hardcore documentation about hfs/ufs, how can I find it?

http://docs.hp.com includes good document about VxFS(http://docs.hp.com/hpux/pdf/B3929-90011.pdf), but I could not find any good document about HFS/UFS

Help me please.

Hi,

Found another informational link:

http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Essentials/SystemOverview/FileSystem/index.html?http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Essentials/SystemOverview/FileSystem/Differences_HFS_and_UFS.html

I found lot's of document regarding Linux, but not HP-UX so far.

Good luck.

Most of the HFS documentation was taught in HP-UX advanced sysadmin courses years ago, but since HFS is no longer recommended as a production filesystem, there is very little in the way of details. It is the McKusick filesystem with the major pieces untouched for the most part. VxFS is the recommended filesystem due to overall performance and journaled logging. VxFS also provides numerous features not found in HFS such as online resizing and extensive mount options as well as a snapshot capability.
