To convert multiple Storage Checkpoints

Create a file system and mount it on /mnt0:

# mkfs -F vxfs /dev/vx/rdsk/dg1/test0

version 7 layout

13417728 sectors, 67108864 blocks of size 1024, log \

size 65536 blocks largefiles supported

# mount -F vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/dg1/test0 /mnt0

Create four data Storage Checkpoints on this file system, note the order of

creation, and list them:

# fsckptadm create oldest /mnt0

# fsckptadm create older /mnt0

# fsckptadm create old /mnt0

# fsckptadm create latest /mnt0

# fsckptadm list /mnt0

/mnt0

latest:

ctime = Mon 26 Jul 11:56:55 2004

mtime = Mon 26 Jul 11:56:55 2004

flags = largefiles

old:

ctime = Mon 26 Jul 11:56:51 2004

mtime = Mon 26 Jul 11:56:51 2004

flags = largefiles

older:

ctime = Mon 26 Jul 11:56:46 2004

mtime = Mon 26 Jul 11:56:46 2004

flags = largefiles

oldest:

ctime = Mon 26 Jul 11:56:41 2004

mtime = Mon 26 Jul 11:56:41 2004

flags = largefiles

Try to convert synchronously the latest Storage Checkpoint to a nodata

Storage Checkpoint. The attempt will fail because the Storage Checkpoints

older than the latest Storage Checkpoint are data Storage Checkpoints,

namely the Storage Checkpoints old, older, and oldest:

# fsckptadm -s set nodata latest /mnt0

UX:vxfs fsckptadm: ERROR: V-3-24632: Storage Checkpoint

set failed on latest. File exists (17)
