Hi, Thanks to Casper Dik for promptly responding. The answer to the question below is Yes. For some info on UFS filesystems, here is Caspers e-mail: > >Yes, you could do the same; upgrades would not be possible if >the ufs fileformat was changed incompatibly. > >In general, the following holds: > > > - ufs filesystems are fully forward compatible > (Solaris X can read ufs filesystems created on > Solaris Y where Y <= X) > > - ufs filesystems are backward compatible in a > limited sense; Solaris X can fsck and then > mount a filesystem created on Solaris Y > where Y > X. > >Casper > -----Original Message----- Hi All, I was asked the following question and would appreciate your comments. In my opinion it should be no problem. I will summarize. "I have a Sybase ASIQ 12.5.3 running on Solaris 2.6. The Sybase Database was using raw datafiles. I detached all the Sybase disks and installed Solaris 9. I then attached the Sybase disks and started Sybase and all seems fine. The database status is good, I can do a Sybase backup and I can insert records. My question is: Could I do the same if the database uses mounted file systems? i.e. Are there any differences in the file systems from 2.6 to 9 if the file systems are defined as ufs?" Regards, Alan.
