Hello,
What is the main difference between solaris and HP-UX filesystem.

Thanks

solaris uses - ufs. These days it comes by default with VxVM. so uses VxFS.

Hp-ux - uses VxFS and hfs. You can also go for VxVM.

In HP-UX, except /stand, everything can be VxFS.

And don't store anything under Solaris in the /tmp partition, it gets cleaned up after a reboot. (In HP-UX you can usually find your files after the reboot in /tmp.) :-)

And you can achieve mirroring in Solaris with Solstice (free software) or with Veritas (commercial sw).

In the distant past, SUN used more aggressive defaults on their file system than HP-UX. I don't know about their current set of defaults, but at the time that gave it a performance edge but at the greater risk of data loss in the event of a crash. Even if a SUN is using VxVM with VxFS, it may have different default settings which can improve performance but as always there are greater risks. sVxFS supports journaling of the file system which can help rapid recovery of file systems after a crash. VxFS is now the default file system with HP-UX and hfs is rarely used. I would recommend VxFS on either system, and look at your default mount options to make sure that those settings are what is best for your environment.
