Hi all,
We are currently running inode-based fileservers on solaris 9.
I stumbled across the fact that solaris 9 -9/05HW makes logging the
default on UFS. I know that the AFS finode-based fileserver cannot work
with a logging filesystem.
Does the namei filesystem play nice with logging filesystems?
Yes
Going forward, which format is recommended, inode or namei?
Namei has another advantage: if you salvage a single volume it's not
necessary to read all inodes, but only those pseudo-inodes (file names)
under the subdirectory belonging to the volume group. This is much faster.
An overhead traversing the AFSIDat-tree to open a file certainly exists,
but I suppose it is neglectible compared to the advantages.

I'm wondering if I should slowly migrate to namei.
Thanks,
Jason
