yes, assuming the filesystem is ufs and ufslogging is disabled (its enabled by default with the advent of solaris10). >Is this Correct ? - > >-- To use VxFS, you MUST build and use an OpenAFS NAMEI fileserver instead, >which incurs a slight performance penalty (~10% compared to inode -- YMMV), >but you have a normal filesystem as underlying store. yes -- the performance penalty is a bit of hot topic. since you can use ufslogging this should boost performance of file creation/deletion which should help offset penalties there. not having to fsck the partition is a huge time saver after a hard failure. >Any other large caveats (Veritas VxVM vs. OpenAFS 1.2.x & 1.3.x) ? only 1.3.x has support for files >2G. if you are going to have a huge partition with lots of volumes, you might consider some of the other options like --enable-fast-restart and --enable-bitmap-later. _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
