What’s New with Veritas File System (VxFS)
The following VxFS features and enhancements are supported in the SG SMS version A.04.00.01

to clean up the intent log if the mount command detects a dirty log in the file system.
• Dynamic Storage Tiering is rebranded as SmartTier — In this release, the Dynamic Storage
Tiering (DST) feature is rebranded as SmartTier.
• FileSnap — FileSnaps provide the ability to snapshot objects that are smaller in granularity
than a file system or a volume.
• Partitioned directories — This feature creates partitioned directories to improve the directory
performance of file systems.
• SmartTier sub-file movement — Allows you to manage the placement of file objects or entire
files on individual volumes.
• Tuning performance optimization of inode allocation — Allows you to specify whether
performance optimization of inode allocation and reuse during new file creation is turned on
(or off).
• Veritas File System is more thin friendly — Allows you to tune Veritas File System (VxFS) to
enable or disable thin-friendly allocations.
