Determine status of 8.3 SFN on a filesystem
The are several ways to determine whether 8.3 SFN is supported on a particular
filesystem. The Features tab on the filesystem’s Properties window (select the filesystem,
right-click, and select Properties) lists all supported features. For an example, see
“Features tab” on page 127.
The psfsinfo command specifies whether 8.3 support and the extended character
set are enabled on the filesystem. (1 means the feature is enabled and 0 means the
feature is disabled.) For example:
psfsinfo psv1
Version: 11
BlkSize: 8192
FsSize: 52428792
DefaultUsrQuota: 0
DefaultGrpQuota: 0
DefaultSoftUsrQuota: 0
enable8dot3 = 1
allowextchar = 0
Features: FZBM QUOTA SPARSE_FILES EIGHT_THREE_PRIMED ADS
Run-time flags: PSFS_RT_QUOTA_NO_ENFORCE
PSFS_RT_QUOTA_STATIC_DEFAULT
The following psfscheck command reports whether 8.3 support is enabled or
disabled. Because the command unmounts the filesystem, it should not be run when
the volume is in use.
psfscheck -e query8dot3 <device>
Alternate Data Streams (ADS)
Filesystems created under Matrix Server 3.6.1 and later releases include support for
Alternate Data Streams (ADS). Filesystems created under earlier Matrix Server versions
must be upgraded to add ADS support.
Use the following command to upgrade a filesystem for ADS. Before running the
command, be sure that the volume is not in use.
psfscheck -e enableads <device>
The Features tab on the filesystem’s Properties window (select the filesystem, right-click,
and select Properties) reports whether ADS is enabled on the filesystem. For an
example, see “Features tab” on page 127.
