Hi,
For reasons of history and habit, we have several DEC/Compaq DUX/Tru64
machines that, for the most part, use UFS rather than AdvFS. The UFS
filesystems are extensively cross-mounted among all the machines via NFS.
The newer machines generally come with / and /usr (and /var) created as
AdvFS. I am considering a gradual migration to AdvFS: creating new
filesystems as AdvFS (but probably not converting existing ones to AdvFS
unless strongly compelled to do so). I have two rather naive questions...
1. From what I've read, it seems that it is OK to export an AdvFS fileset
from one machine and mount it via NFS onto another machine. Right?
Anything to watch-out for in doing this?
2. If a couple of AdvFS domains and filesets exist on a given volume
(using, for example, /dev/disk/dsk0a and dsk0g), is it OK to create UFS
filesystems on the unused partitions (dsk0d, e & f)? I realize that this
may not be the most best arrangement, and I probably won't do it if #1
above is OK.
(Also, if a swap partition exists on dsk0b, can I add another swap
partition using, for example, dsk0h? Again, not the best arrangement,
but....)
Will summarize. And as always, thanks!
