Trusted System and VXFS

[Greg Stark_1]

I'm building a new 11.00 box and while trying to convert it to a trusted system via SAM, it gives me the following warning:

Note: VxFS file systems do not currently support Access Control Lists (ACLs). If you currently have one or more VxFS file systems in use, these file systems will not contain ACLs after conversion to Trusted Systems.

Do you want to continue?

This is what my /etc/fstab looks like:
/dev/vg00/lvol3 / vxfs delaylog 0 1
/dev/vg00/lvol1 /stand hfs defaults 0 1
/dev/vg00/lvol4 /tmp vxfs delaylog 0 2
/dev/vg00/lvol5 /home vxfs delaylog 0 2
/dev/vg00/lvol7 /usr vxfs delaylog 0 2
/dev/vg00/lvol8 /var vxfs delaylog 0 2
/dev/vg00/lvol6 /opt vxfs delaylog 0 2
/dev/vg00/esm /opt/esm vxfs delaylog 0 2

Is this going to cause any problems?

Thanks again,
Greg

This will only cause a problem if you have set up acl's (man lsacl)
If you have just installed HP-UX then you have absolutely nothing to worry about.

This won't cause any problems. All it does is reserve a spot in the filesystem for the ACL. This is just a way of controlling files specifically by user

Hi,

vxfs supports trusted system.

Try using tsconvert -c to convert system in to trusted instead of SAM..
tscnvert -r would revert back to untruseted.

Goodluck,

Hi Greg,

you probably have an older version of JFS on the system, Try this link,

Hope this helps.

Hi Greg,

It's just a polite warning that you will lose ACLs if you continue. If you don't use them (most people don't) then no worries. And since you are building the box from scratch you don't have ACLs to worry about anyway.

HI
If you upgrade your JFS version to (3.3) yu will be able to use ACLs.
The older version on JFS any way do not support ACLs on VxFS on 11.0.

Thanks.
Prashant.

You should be OK at this point, HP just put's that message as a friendly reminder. It will not have any adverse affect on your system at this point.

Good Luck
