46 VERITAS Storage Foundation Release Notes
◆ Handling ACLs with CDS
Because not all target platforms support ACLs, converting a file system with ACLs from the
source to a target on which ACLs are not supported results in ACLs not being enabled on the
target. If the file system is converted back to a target on which ACLs are supported, permission
checks are enforced again.
Quick I/O Files Cannot Be Sparse Files
If you try to convert a sparse file to a Quick I/O file, the Oracle instance can fail if Oracle tries to
write into an unallocated block. Specifically, datafiles used by the Oracle8i and Oracle9i temporary
tablespace may be sparse files, so do not convert these to Quick I/O files. See the VERITAS Storage
Foundation 4.1 for Oracle Database Administrator’s Guide for more information.
PHCO_33308 Required for LVM Commands to Recognize Disk Layout
Version 6
When reducing a volume, LVM checks the volume to prevent any part of the existing file system
from being thrown away. Likewise, when an LVM physical volume is created, LVM ensures that it
is not clobbering an existing file system. However, LVM does not recognize a VxFS 4.1 file system
with disk layout Version 6, which is the default disk layout version in VxFS 4.1. Install
PHCO_33308 for LVM to work with disk layout Version 6.
PHCO_33238 Required for swapon Command to Recognize Disk Layout
Version 6
The swapon command does not recognize a VxFS file system with disk layout Version 6, and
therefore does not produce a warning while using a device that has such a file system. Install
PHCO_33238 to enhance the swapon command to recognize the VxFS disk layout Version 6.
