Solaris Virtual File System

Have Solaris virtual file system been changed since Solaris 2.5.1? How much?

AFAIK, the VFS is not an official (and documented) interface
and may change from solaris release to solaris release
(perhaps even with a new kernel patch).
Other, you can probably get the Solaris 8 Foundation Source,
and use it as the definitive reference documentation ;-)

Virtual File System : vfs_freevfs function

Does anybody know anything about Solaris virtual file system function "vfs_freevfs" from vfsops struct from
vfs.h. Thanks,Veselka

vfs_freevfs is callback which gets called when a file system is unmounted to release (free up) the resources held by the file system.

Patch Fails: 119907-13 Gnome 2.6.0_x86: Virtual File System Framework patch

When I try to use my Sun(TM)Update Manager, I get:
119907-13 Gnome 2.6.0_x86: Virtual File System Framework patch Failed.
Utility used to install the update failed with exit code 997. Patch is not available in the patch directory.
It is the only patch left to be installed and I tried rebooting several times with no luck. There is no 119907-13 directory or 119907-13.jar in my /var/sadm/spool either. Thanks for any hints.

Thanks.
I have the free version of Solaris for the x86/x64 platform on my workstation at home. I did register the OS when I installed it, but I do not have a support contract.
I am curious as to why this has never been an issue before with the hundreds of patches I've installed previously.
If I do not wish to purchase a support contract, there ought to be a way to get the patch out of my Sun(TM) Update Manager so that the green indicator in my
systray doesn't drive me nuts.
Thanks for your help and any further suggestions.

Hi,
I read the Message 591 (Agu 2003) and the problem is quite the same. A brief description: I have aLaptop ASUS with HDD1 60GB and a USB storage HDD (in next HDD2) 100GB. I installed Solaris 10 x86 on HDD2 (partition c2t0d0s0). At the end of installation I removed the DVD and using BIOS features I switched the boot to HDD2. All ok; I received the SUN Blue Screen and I choose the active Solaris option; but at the beginning of the boot I received the following error message
Screen Output:

Re: Virtual File System and NCP Shares

I can confirm that VFS does not work on NCP volumes. In fact an admin volume
is not created without NSS.
I'm using the X-plat APIs to manage trustees on NCP volumes.

with fuse you can do that i think.
but I take it your thing is not posix compliant? aren't there enough fs'es already you could use instead? or do you mostly want to learn? in that case it's cool

Commons Virtual File System

Commons Virtual File System
Commons VFS provides a single API for accessing various different file systems. It presents a uniform view of the files from various different sources, such as the files on local disk, on an HTTP server, or inside a Zip archive.
here is the link
http://commons.apache.org/vfs/index.html
Now i want to use this API please can any one give me links or suggest some books to explore this API
i need some tutorials (basics) for understanding this API.
Thanks in Advance.

Solaris 10 - File System Size / Layout

Hello, I�m very new to Solaris OS � UNIX world and have a question around the file system.
I have SUN System with a single 36GB of Hard Disk, and eventually I want to install Oracle 10g on it as a development server for myself.
My question is around the file system size and layout
I have installed Solaris 10 and accepted the default file system, which is as below:
Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0 5.0G 3.4G 1.6G 69% /
/devices 0K 0K 0K 0% /devices
ctfs 0K 0K 0K 0% /system/contract
proc 0K 0K 0K 0% /proc
mnttab 0K 0K 0K 0% /etc/mnttab
swap 1.5G 1.1M 1.5G 1% /etc/svc/volatile
objfs 0K 0K 0K 0% /system/object
/platform/sun4u-us3/lib/libc_psr/libc_psr_hwcap1.so.1 5.0G 3.4G 1.6G 69% /platform/sun4u-us3/lib/libc_psr.so.1
/platform/sun4u-us3/lib/sparcv9/libc_psr/libc_psr_hwcap1.so.1 5.0G 3.4G 1.6G 69% /platform/sun4u-us3/lib/sparcv9/libc_psr.so.1
fd 0K 0K 0K 0% /dev/fd
swap 1.5G 136K 1.5G 1% /tmp
swap 1.5G 88K 1.5G 1% /var/run
/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s7 28G 28M 28G 1% /export/home
What I don�t understand is when I eventually install Oracle, where will the directory go for it?
The /home/export folder is aprrox: 28GB which is now taking up most of the space, and I understand that this is for users, therefore my question is:
1.Should I have allocated a more space to the root file system for oracle during the OS install?
2. If so what should I do? (its not a production system and I know it will have to go somewhere on the single drive, I�m happy to rebuild as I�m still learning the OS).
Any suggestions?
Rgds

Thanks, I do have this but needed info on the file system layout... but I have the info now...
If you select the auto file system layout on Solaris 10 then it gives the remaining space to the home/export . I have since re-installed, customised the file system layout and have space for the database.

Solaris & Veritas File System

Hi folks,
Does anyone know where to find Veritas File System--Solaris support matrix?
Which of VxFS versions support ACLs on Solaris?

Hi,
Support matrix: http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/234176.htm
ACLs are supported for VxFS => 3.2, see http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/181401.htm

What is virtual file system in sharepoint, where are the site pages stored?

I came across this paragraph in Inside Microsoft SharePoint 2010; page 126 :-
When SharePoint Foundation provisions the Proposals document library,it creates a folder named Proposals at the root of the site and then it creates a child folder named Forms.
Inside the Forms folder, it creates a set of site pages with names such as DispForm.aspx, EditForm.aspx, AllItems.aspx, and Upload.aspx. The reason that SharePoint Foundation creates site pages inside the Forms folder for each
new list and document library is that these site pages will provide users with the forms they will use to add and manage content.
My question is that:-
1) What us the root of the site means?
2) Are the pages for edit/add/allitems created in filesystem OR in the content database?
3)Suppose we create new sitepages, then where are they stored? In filesystem or in content db?

Hi,
For All above queries the data and site pages are stored in content database
Root folder: A folder created for the document library under the web (sub site) and another folder created as child folder named Forms. Site pages are created in SharePoint content database
SitePages(Add/display/edit): These pages are created in SharePoint content database
Note: The SharePoint will not create any physical aspx page OR folder in the file system while creating document library.
Hope this will help you.
Senthilrajan Kaliyaperumal
But the book mentions that:-
When SharePoint Foundation provisions the Proposals document library,it
creates a folder named Proposals at the root of the site and then it creates a child folder named Forms.
Is
this wrong? Are the folders created in filesystem or content db? If the files are not supposed to go into the filesystem, then why are the folders created?

SOlaris 10 file system UFS

Hello All.
I'mnot able to mount ufs on optical disk that have 8192 block size if the kernel pagesize is less then 8192. Our driver that manage UDO disk is able to work properly on Sparc with UFS but not on AMD.
Is there any possibility to use UFS on AMD with 8192 block size ?

We are trying to implement ufs on 8192 block size
optical media and we already succed using Solaris
8/9/10 on sparc architecture where PAGESIZE is 8192.
We have our private SCSI driver to pilot optical disk
but no problem, UFS works fine, we simply specify
fragsize=8192 during newfs.
If we do the same on AMD where the PAGESIZE is 4192
we get no error during write but file cannot be read
back. It seems that UFS failes because the PAGESIZE <
Physical block size.I see what you're saying. Yes, I think you'll have problems with trying to make UFS work on a system where pagesize < phys block size.
Sorry for the initial misunderstanding. I have no suggestions for how you might overcome that, or how much code makes that assumption.

Is OCS a real File system or Virtual file system?

Hello gurus,
I would like to ask pros some fundamental questions regarding OCS.
1. Are files and folders in ocs are stored as real system files and directories in OS somewhere ?
2. Are the files or folders all all maintained in database itself?
We are trying to accomplish following task pertaining to document management: I dont know if we can achieve this through Oracle content services.
We have bunch of documents that are attached to the Units ( Serialized) that we are selling.
example
1. SN1_A.doc ( sold from sales order 12345 and same documents referenced in Service request# A123)
2.SN1_B.doc (sold from sales order 12345 and same documents referenced in Service request# A123)
3. SN2_A.doc ( sold from sales order 12346 and referenced in SR# A124)
4. SN2_B.doc ( sold from sales order 12346 and referenced in SR# A124)
No we want two VIRTUAL directory views for Sales team and Service Team
Virtual view for Service team:
/Field Service/Service Requests/A123/ (will show SN1_A.doc and SN1_B.doc )
/Field Service/Service Requests/A124/(will show SN2_A.doc and SN2_B.doc )
Virtual view for Sales team:
/Field Sales/Sales Orders/12345 / (will show SN1_A.doc and SN1_B.doc )
/Field Sales/Sales Orders/12346 /(will show SN2_A.doc and SN2_B.doc )
Is this possible in OCS? Is this possible in any Document Management product?
Please help

Hello,
out of the box OCS content services won't do this for you -- at least not exactly.
What you're looking for is a way to tag documents with metadata.
For example, you would define a category called Sales and give it two attributes: sales order and service request.
You create a folder which forces the user the populate these fields when uploading or checking in a document.
A service technician could then use the content search facility (in the content browser) to look for documents with a service request of A123, while a salesman could search for documents tagged with the sales order 12345.
This does not give you the virtual folder look that you seem to be after, so that would be the part you'd have to custom code. But you'd be using the search mechanism I described above.

Ingo

Virtual File System

Hi,
How do I view files on a remote server using JFileChooser using the HTTP protocol? The files will reside on the a web access web server directory. I will need to be able to save, open, and delete files from this directory accessible over the web.

Hi,
file chooser only operates locally on the client. The way to do this would be to process code on the server that parses a directory structure and that then shows the content of this structure in e.g. a tree structure for you to operate on

Why would anyone want to use ASM Clustered File system?

DB Version: 11gR2
OS : Solaris, AIX, HP-UX
I've read about the new feature ACFS.
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/ACFS_11gR2.php
But why would anyone want to store database binaries in a separate Filesystem created by Oracle?

Hi Vitamind,
how do these binaries interact with the CPU when they want something to be done?
ACFS should work with Local OS (Solaris) to communicate with the CPU . Isn't this kind of double work?ACFS dont work with .... but provide filesystem to Local S.O
There may be extra work, but that's because there are more resources that a common filesystem.
Oracle ACFS executes on operating system platforms as a native file system technology supporting native operating system file system application programming interfaces (APIs).
ACFS is a general purpose POSIX compliant cluster file system. Being POSIX compliant, all operating system utilities we use with ext3 and other file systems can also be used with Oracle ACFS given it belongs to the same family of related standards.
ACFS Driver Model
An Oracle ACFS file system is installed as a dynamically loadable vendor operating system (OS) file system driver and tool set that is developed for each supported operating system platform. The driver is implemented as a Virtual File System (VFS) and processes all file and directory operations directed to a specific file system.
It makes sense you use the ACFS if you use some of the features below:
• Oracle RAC / RAC ONE NODE
• Oracle ACFS Snapshots
• Oracle ASM Dynamic Volume Manager
• Cluster Filesystem for regular files
ACFS Use Cases
• Shared Oracle DB home
• Other “file system” data
• External tables, data loads, data extracts
• BFILES and other data customer chooses not to store in db
• Log files (consolidates access)
• Test environments
• Copy back a previous snapshot after testing
• Backups
• Snapshot file system for point-intime backups
• General purpose local or cluster file system
• Leverage ASM manageability
Note : Oracle ACFS file systems cannot be used for an Oracle base directory or an Oracle grid infrastructure home that contains the software for Oracle Clusterware, Oracle ASM, Oracle ACFS, and Oracle ADVM components.

Levi Pereira
