How to define disk layout version?

[aaaA_4]

Hi,

how can I, because of some specific purpose, define disk layout version of VxFS file system (LVM) to a non-default version?
I use VxFS version 4.1 and would like to create FS with disk layout version 4 (default is 6).

Thank you,
n.

noBADy,
You can use mkfs to specify a different disk layout version: [version= n]


version=n
n is the VxFS disk layout version number. n can be 2 or 3 to indicate the Version 2 or Version 3 disk layout. Version 2 supports dynamic inode allocation. Version 3 adds support for large files and large UIDs. The default is the Version 3.

Check out and you can try crating a test fs :

I have tested version clause with newfs command earlier, but I was not successful.

With mkfs it works now.
