Chapter 3 19
# fsck -F vxfs -y -o full <vol_name>
During pass 4, fsck displays several error messages that require a yes response to
complete the conversion process.
6. VxFS file systems with disk layout 4, 5, and 6 can still be mounted with VxFS 5.0.
However, to upgrade to disk layout version of mounted file systems to 7, use vxupgrade as
follows:
a. To upgrade a mounted VxFS file system from disk layout 4 to disk layout 7
# vxupgrade -n 5 <mount_point>
# vxupgrade -n 6 <mount_point>
# vxupgrade -n 7 <mount_point>
b. To upgrade a mounted VxFS file system from disk layout 5 to disk layout 7
# vxupgrade -n 6 <mount_point>
# vxupgrade -n 7 <mount_point>
c. To upgrade a mounted VxFS file system from disk layout 6 to disk layout 7
# vxupgrade -n 7 <mount_point>
7. To verify the conversion, enter the following:
# fstyp -v <vol_name>
