What’s New with Veritas File System (VxFS)
The following VxFS features and enhancements are supported in the SG SMS version A.04.01.01
bundles:
• Autolog replay on mount — The mount command automatically runs the VxFS fsck command
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.
NOTE: For more information on VxFS features and enhancements that are supported with SG
SMS version A.04.01.01 bundles, see the Veritas™ File System 5.1 SP1 Release Notes available
