Encrypted Volume and File System v2.0 Release Notes

1.7.1 Creation of VxFS Filesystem Using mkfs on the EVFS (VxVM) Volume Failed.
Defect number: QXCR1000900650
Symptom
Using the mkfs command to create a VxFS file system on a VxVM volume configured for EVS
mode does not work.
Solution
Install patch PHCO_39474 to get the new mkfs binary.
Workaround
If you cannot install patch PHCO_39474, use the newfs command instead of the mkfs command
to create a VxFS file system.
1.7.2 Creation of HFS Filesystem Exhibits an Unexpected Behavior
Defect number: QXCR1000900954
Symptom
You can successfully create an HFS file system on a physical device or volume (for example,
/dev/vg01/lvol1) using the mkfs or newfs command, even though the corresponding EVFS
device (/dev/evfs/vg01/lvol1) is already mounted. Similarly, you can successfully create
an HFS file system on a EVFS device using the mkfs or newfs command, even though the
corresponding physical device or volume is already mounted.
WARNING! Do not try to create an HFS file system using a physical volume if the corresponding
EVFS volume is already mounted. Similarly, do not try to create an HFS file system using an
EVFS volume if the corresponding physical volume is already mounted. This may result in file
system corruption that would make the data unrecoverable.
Workaround
There is no work around for this issue.
1.7.3 Failure to Read the Files System Super Block from the Physical Device
(LVM/VxVM) when it is Mapped to EVFS
The fsadm command fails to read the files system super block from the physical device
(LVM/VxVM) when it is mapped to EVFS.
Symptom:
When extending the file system, the following error is displayed:
vxfs fsadm: V-3-20285: filesystem /mnt/evfsmnt does not match filesystem super-block on /dev/vg01/evfs_lvol1
vxfs fsadm: V-3-20284: use [-r] to specify a raw device
Workaround
To work around this issue, do one of the following workarounds:
• Mount the file system on the EVFS volume instead of on the physical volume and use the
fsadm command on EVFS volume to increase the file system size.
• Unmap the EVFS volume configured for EVS mode and run fsadm on physical volume.
