Integrating existing file systems in the FSE implementation
Integrating existing file systems on the Linux platform
On the Linux platform, existing Ext3 file systems residing on LVM volumes can be used, provided they are
remounted as HSM file systems after the belonging FSE partitions are configured.
For details on how to integrate existing file systems on the Linux platform, see the FSE installation guide for
Linux, appendix ”Integrating existing file systems in the FSE implementation”, section ”Integrating existing
file systems”.
The next step, configuring an FSE partition, is described in the FSE user guide, section ”Configuring a
regular FSE partition on the Linux platform” on page 73. For a WORM FSE partition configuration, see
”Configuring a WORM FSE partition” on page 78.
Integrating existing file systems on the Windows platform
On the Windows platform, you can use existing disk volumes (partitions); you only need to dismount the
Windows native NTFS file system, and configure the corresponding FSE partitions afterwards.
For details on how to integrate existing file systems on the Windows platform, see the FSE installation guide
for Windows, appendix ”Integrating existing file systems in the FSE implementation”, section ”Integrating
existing file systems”.
The next step, configuring an FSE partition, is described in the FSE user guide, section ”Configuring a
