-s size Directs vxfsconvert to use free disk space past the current end of the file system to store
VxFS metadata.
-v Specifies verbose mode.
-y|Yspecial Assumes a yes response to all questions asked by vxfsconvert.
See the vxfsconvert(1M) manual page for more information about converting a UFS file system to a VxFS
file system.
Example
To convert a UFS file system to a VxFS file system with an intent log size of 4096 blocks, enter:
# vxfsconvert -l 4096 /dev/vx/rdsk/diskgroup/volume
Mounting a File System
You can mount a VxFS file system by using the mount command. If you enter this command, the generic
mount command parses the arguments and the -F fstype option executes the mount command specific to that
file system type. For VxFS and VERITAS-installed products, the generic mount command executes the
VxFS mount command from the directory /sbin/fs/vxfs4.1. If the -F option is not supplied, the
command searches the file /etc/fstab for a file system and an fstype matching the special file or mount point
provided. If no file system type is specified, mount uses the default file system type (VxFS).
How to Mount a File System
After you create a VxFS file system, you can use the mount command to mount the file system:
mount [-F vxfs] [generic_options] [-r] [-o specific_options] \special
mount_point
vxfs The file system type.
generic_options Options common to most other file system types.
specific_options Options specific to VxFS.
-o ckpt=ckpt_name Mounts a VERITAS Storage Checkpoint.
-o cluster Mounts a file system in shared mode. Available only with the VxFS cluster file system
feature.
special Block special device.
mount_point Directory on which to mount the file system.
-r Mounts the file system as read-only.
