/stand

[j773303]

Could somebody tell me what kind of the file
system for /stand? Thanks.

Hello,

/stand must be an HFS filesystem.

/stand is HFS, not JFS

[T G Manikandan]

The file system /stand should be hfs
and the space allocated to it should be contiguous.

Thanks

Watch out when using scripts,commands or programs which need to know what kind of filesystem it is. for examble: one cannot backup /stand with vxdump

/stand is HFS file system. If you have to make any support over it, you can unmount it, because / stand is used only on start process.

I hope this help you.

hi guys

the file system
/stand

can be a hfs filesystem

[John Bolene]

There goes Jimmy again.

Adding a bit more info,

/stand has to be hfs but does not have to be real big, I normally allocate 100 meg

it also is not updated very often, only when kernel patches are made

Can someone confirm if there is still the 2G offset limit still though..

ie the boot disk will be
slash / (vxfs if you like)
primary swap (swap fs)
stand aka boot (HFS contiguous only)

now / + primary swap could not be greater than 2G... at least for 10.20 anyway. ie /stand needed to be located in the first 2G of the bootstrap, hpux which lives in ISL on the boot sector.. apparently the ISL apps had an address limitation.


Later,
Bill

/stand (or / if you haven't got a separate /stand) HAS to be HFS and HAS to be the first volume on the disk. You can back it up with 'dump'.

I guess the 2Gb limit is irrelevant as far as /stand is concerned, 80Mb is normally more than sufficient. Certainly at 11.00, there's no problem having primary swap > 2Gb.
