Chet, CDL versus LDL has nothing to do with the type of file system that gets put on it, it is simply how the disk volume is laid out. I.e., does it have a VTOC or not, and can you create a second and third partition on it or not. In either format, you can put an ext2, or ext3, or vfat, or reiserfs, or what ever file system on it.
Which file system will be created depends on how you issue the mkfs command. If you do it like you always have in the past, it will wind up being ext2. To create something different, like an ext3 file system, you would need to add a "-j" switch to the mke2fs command. If you're sharing a file system, you don't want any of the sharing systems running fsck against it, so the entry in /etc/fstab should end in "0 0".

Now I'd like to move my /usr disk to a CDL, and I see discussions on how to format it and copy it, but I can't find anything about what filesystem type to make it in the /etc/fstab. Is it an ext3, or should the entry still read /dev/dasdd1 /usr ext2 defaults 1 2 ? And when sharing the filesystem read-only, do I still need to tell fsck to run agianst it with the "1 2"? ===== Chet Norris Marriott International,Inc. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
