Saving user-defined file systems

 

A user-defined file system (UDFS) is a file system that you can create and manage yourself. You can create multiple UDFSs, with unique names.

You can specify other attributes for a UDFS when you create it. These attributes include:

• An auxiliary storage pool (ASP) number where you store the objects in the UDFS.

• The case-sensitivity that the names of all UDFS objects follow.

If the UDFS is on an independent disk pool, ensure that the independent disk pool is varied on and that the UDFS is unmounted before you start the save.

• How the system stores user-defined file systems
  In a UDFS, as in the "root" (/) and QOpenSys file systems, users can create directories, stream files, symbolic links, and local sockets.

• Saving an unmounted UDFS
  

• Saving a mounted UDFS
  Ordinarily, you should unmount user-defined file systems (UDFS) before save and restore operations. Menu options 21, 22, and 23 of the GO SAVE command provide an option to unmount UDFSs prior to the save.
