Not UFS file system

After deleting all the partitions on my intel Pentium III computer.
I boot from the first (1/2) CD to start Solaris 8 installation. But
I got the following message:
not UFS file system
Then the computer halted.
Please help me to overcome the problem
Thank you!
Michael

Ever figure this out? I just DL'ed the CDs and get the same thing, even created a 2G DOS partition with same results!

More than 1 million files on multi-terabyte UFS file systems

How do you configure a UFS file system for more than 1 million files when it exceeds 1 terabyte? I've got several Sun RAID subsystems where this is necessary.

Thanks. You are right on. According to Sun official channels:

Hi Ron,
This is what I've found out.
No there is no way around the limitation. I would suggest an alternate
file system if possible suggest ZFS as they would get the most space
available as inodes are no longer used.
Like the customer noted if the inode values were increased significantly
and an fsck were required there is the possibility that the fsck could
take days or weeks to complete. So in order to avoid angry customers
having to wait a day or two for fsck to finish the limit was imposed.
And so far I've heard that there should not be corruption using zfs and
raid.

UFS file system mount options

I'm doing some performance tuning on a database server. In mounting a particular UFS file system, I need to enable the "forcedirectio" option. However, the "logging" option is already specified. Is there any problem mounting this file system with BOTH "logging" and "forcedirectio" at the same time? I can do it and the system boots just fine but I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not. Anybody know?

Direct IO bypasses the page cache. Hence the name "direct".
Thus, for large-block streaming operations that do not access the same data more than once, direct IO will improve performance while reducing memory usage - often significantly.
IO operations that access data that could otherwise be cached can go MUCH slower with direct IO, especially small ones.

Is this PKGBUILD ok? (does not meet file system standards...)

Hello,
I am currently writing on a chess program (https://launchpad.net/klaus) of which I released the first alpha some weeks ago. It's written in Java (yes, I read the packaging guidelines about Java programs).
Now I am trying to get a working PKGBUILD for this program. My current version (see below) is working, but instead of using the file system standards, it puts everything in /opt/klaus. I know this is not correct (and will try to get it working properly in the next alpha), but fixing it in the PKGBUILD seems to be very much trouble for me.
So is this PKGBUILD version o. k. until I fixed the file structure and should I upload it to AUR, or will this be rejected?

Can ZFS storage pools share a physical drive w/ the root (UFS) file system?

I wonder if I'm missing something here, because I was under the impression ZFS offered ultimate flexability until I encountered the following fine print 50 pages into the ZFS Administration Guide:
"Before creating a storage pool, you must determine which devices will store your data. These devices must be disks of at least 128 Mbytes in size, and _they must not be in use by other parts of the operating system_. The devices can be individual slices on a preformatted disk, or they can be entire disks that ZFS formats as a single large slice."
I thought it was frustrating that ZFS couldn't be used as a boot disk, but the fact that I can't even use the rest of the space on the boot drive for ZFS is aggrivating. Or am I missing something? The following text appears elsewhere in the guide, and suggests that I can use the 7th slice:
"A storage device can be a whole disk (c0t0d0) or _an individual slice_ (c0t0d0s7). The recommended mode of operation is to use an entire disk, in which case the disk does not need to be specially formatted."
Currently, I've just installed Solaris 10 (6/11) on an Ultra 10. I removed the slice for /export/users (c0t0d0s7) from the default layout during the installation. So there's approx 6 GB in UFS space, and 1/2 GB in swap space. I want to make the 70GB of unused HDD space a ZFS pool.
Suggestions? I read somewhere that the other slices must be unmounted before creating a pool. How do I unmount the root partition, then use the ZFS tools that reside in that unmounted space to create a pool?
Edited by: MindFuq on Oct 20, 2007 8:12 PM

It's not convenient for me to post that right now, because my ultra 10 is offline (for some reason the DNS never got set up properly, and creating an /etc/resolv.conf file isn't enough to get it going).
Anyway, you're correct, I can see that there is overlap with the cylinders.
During installation, I removed slice 7 from the table. However, under the covers the installer created a 'backup' partition (slice 2), which used the rest of the space (~74.5GB), so the installer didn't leave the space unused as I had expected. Strangely, the backup partition overlapped; it started at zero as the swap partition did, and it ended ~3000 cylinders beyond the root partition. I trusted the installer to be correct about things, and simply figured it was acceptible for multiple partitions to share a cylinder. So I deleted slice 2, and created slice 7 using the same boundaries as slice 2.
So next I'll have to remove the zfs pool, and shrink slice 7 so it goes from cylinder 258 to ~35425.
[UPDATE] It worked. Thanks Alex! When I ran zpool create tank c0t0d0s7, there was no error.

Mounting a UFS file system using NFS on Solaris 10

Quick question: If I have a Solaris 10 server running ZFS can I just mount and read a UFS partition without any issues?

NFS is filesystem agnostic.
Your not mounting a UFS filesystem, you mounting an NFS filesystem.
So the answer is yes.

How to create a 2 digit (gigabyte) file system to be used for 3 digit tiny size files and not running out of inodes

I have a 83Gb file system that apparently is not full, but its actually full, because I have run out of inodes, and I have 10 million files in there, so I want to create another that will cater for this inode issue. My question is if I use the
newfs -T
option will it work? As its only going to be 90Gb?

You use probably a UFS file system, right ? Then in this case, use the "-i" option with a value less as 8192. 8192 is the default value for a UFS filesystem that is between 3GB and 1 TB size.
But if you want to store 10M of files, UFS will be limited to 1M per TB : 64-bit: Support of MultiterabyteUFS File Systems (System Administration Guide: Devices and File Systems)
In this case, use instead UFS a ZFS filesystem that supports 2^48 entries !!!

File Systems are not shown in CCMS Monitoring

Hi Gurus,
We have installed all SAP components in Solaris 10 zones including Solution Manager.
Solaris File Systems are not shown in CCMS Monitoring under FileSystem. It looks like SAPOSCOL is not sending the OS data to CCMS. It does not show file systems in OS06 also.
The probles exists on Systems runnig in Solaris 10 zones only and NOT on systems running on individual Servers. [without Solaris zones]
Thanks,
Pj

Hi,
You need take some special considerations while installing SOLMAN on SOLARIS 10 zones. Check these notes

Hope this will solve your problem.

Convert ZFS root file system to UFS with data.

Hi, I would need to covert my ZFS root file systems to UFS and boot from the other disk as a slice (/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0)
I am ok to split the hard disk from root pool mirror. any ideas on how this can be acheived?
Please sugget. Thanks,

from the same document that was quoted above in the Limitations section:
Limitations
Version 2.0 of the Oracle VM Server for SPARC P2V Tool has the following limitations:
Only UFS file systems are supported.
Only plain disks (/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0), Solaris Volume Manager metadevices (/dev/md/dsk/dNNN), and VxVM encapsulated boot disks are supported on the source system.
During the P2V process, each guest domain can have only a single virtual switch and virtual disk server. You can add more virtual switches and virtual disk servers to the domain after the P2V conversion.
Support for VxVM volumes is limited to the following volumes on an encapsulated boot disk: rootvol, swapvol, usr, var, opt, and home. The original slices for these volumes must still be present on the boot disk. The P2V tool supports Veritas Volume Manager 5.x on the Solaris 10 OS. However, you can also use the P2V tool to convert Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 operating systems that use VxVM.
You cannot convert Solaris 10 systems that are configured with zones.

Lucreate - Cannot make file systems for boot environment

How to configure a QFS file system on RAID5 disk in Sol 10 sparc

Hi Forum,
I am setting up Sun cluster 3.2 for oracle RAC on solaris Sparc system (2 node setup)
I have a SAN disk of emc clarrion which is a RAID 5 disk.
For Oracle clusterware to install it needs QFS file system so i also downloaded sun storedge QFS (refering to sun DOC)

When i try to mount the file system i get the above message.
Kindly suggest appropriate steps to resolve this issue.

Prakash

As per the usual setup of a shared SAN disk. The file system used is UFS. when i started installing oracle clusterware i came to a point where i had to run root.sh. the error i got was UFS filesystem not supported.
So now i get stuck in deciding which filesystem oracle clusterware would support. As i had the sun storedge QFS file system setup in the document i continued to follow it.
If you have any steps for configuring oracle clusterware to use the UFS file system it would be an additional help. As i have the UFS file system setup ready at my end.

Globaldevices file system

Hi
Solaris Cluster 3.3 u2 on Solaris 10 x86.
I have dedicated slice for global device file system. During the cluster creation, i have not chosen the default method which is lofi method.
For node "node1",
    Is it okay to use this default (yes/no) [yes]? no
    Testing for "/globaldevices" on "node1" ... done
For node "node2",
    Is it okay to use this default (yes/no) [yes]? no
    Testing for "/globaldevices" on "node2" ... done
After cluster creation, i am seeing lofi device for /global, i am not seeing the slice which i used for /globaldevices is used.
# mount | grep lofi

Someone clarify me why the cluster used lofi? Since i have a dedicated slice for /globaldevice, why the cluster created lofi again ?
Thanks & Regards,
Shashi Kanth.

Hi.
According
Planning the Oracle Solaris OS - Oracle Solaris Cluster Software Installation Guide
In case you want have use /globaldevice as separated slice, you should:
1. Create UFS file systems on required device. You require at least 512 MB.
2. Add record for this device to /etc/vfstab
3.Mount /globaldevice.
In this case cluster installation script will not create /globaldevice on lofi.
Additional requirements:

Java Card File System ...Please reply

Hi all ,
I am working on Java Card technology for last one year . Presently I am facing some problem regarding some file concept of java card .
I know that Java Card 2.1 does not support file system . But I want to simulate the file system in java card using applets . i.e . I want to write an application(applet) , which can simulate the EF , DF in smart card . Whenever APDU command is send to the file system applet , it should generate a Elementary file (EF) or dedicated file (DF) etc and store data to that file.
Can I do this type of thing using Java Card ? I am really in doubt .
If you have any idea on this , please let me know your view on this . If you know any open source code for this type of simulated Java card file system , please let me know .
I am desperately looking for a help .
regards
Dibyendu .
you can contact me to this email
[email protected]

dear duran ,
You have written that
"Follow the guidelines for the different supported filesystems on the JC"
But after Java Card version 2.0 , it does not support file system . I am using Java Card 2.1 .
Could please some sample code to my mail Id , so that I can take a look at it .
My mail id is : [email protected]
Please share the idea , as I am really need some help.

I don't know if the root partition filling up was sudden, and thus due to the killing of an in-use file, or some other problem. However, I have noticed that VAST amounts of space is used up just through the normal patching process.
After I installed Sol 10 11/06, my 12GB root partition was 48% full. Now, about 2 months later, after applying available patches, it is 53% full. That is about 600 MB being taken up by the superseded versions of the installed patches. This is ridiculous. I have patched using Sun Update Manager, which by default does not use the patchadd -d option that would not back up old patch versions, so the superseded patches are building up in /var, wasting massive amounts of space.
Are Solaris users just supposed to put up with this, or is there some other way we should manage patches? It is time consuming and dangerous to manually clean up the old patch versions by using patchrm to delete all versions of a patch and then using patchadd to re-install only the latest revision.
Thank you.

Sendfilev() and file system interaction

When transmitting a file over a TCP socket with sendfilev(), and the source being a regular file on a UFS file system, what exactly takes place in the filesystem locking subsystem?
For example, if an HTTP server employs the sendfile system call, and the file is locked so that it may be read from properly, how does one update this file if the site is heavily trafficked, god forbid it's a Solaris 9 .iso and the user is downloading this file from a less than broadband connection. The file would be "locked" from updating for a potentially long time.
