<div><p><span>A block special file (*BLKSF) represents
a user-defined file system (UDFS) when the entire UDFS and all of the objects
within it need to be manipulated.</span></p>
<div class="section"><div class="p"> If your UDFS resides on the system or on a basic user ASP, block
special file names must be of the form <pre>/dev/QASPXX/udfs_name.udfs</pre>
where <samp class="codeph">XX</samp>
is the ASP number where you store the UDFS, and <samp class="codeph">udfs_name</samp>
is the unique name of the UDFS within that ASP. Note that the UDFS name must
end with the <samp class="codeph">.udfs</samp> extension.</div>
</div>
<div class="section"><div class="p">If your UDFS resides on an independent ASP, block special file
names must be of the form <pre>/dev/asp_name/udfs_name.udfs</pre>
where <samp class="codeph">asp_name</samp> is
the name of independent ASP where you store the UDFS and <samp class="codeph">udfs_name</samp>
is the unique name of the UDFS within that independent ASP. Note that the
UDFS name must end with the <samp class="codeph">.udfs</samp> extension.</div>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>Path names for objects within a UDFS are relative to the directory
over which you mount a UDFS. For example, if you mount the UDFS <samp class="codeph">/dev/qasp01/wysocki.udfs</samp> over <samp class="codeph">/home/dennis</samp>,
then the path names for all objects within the UDFS will begin with <samp class="codeph">/home/dennis</samp>.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>Additional path name rules:</p>
</div>
<div class="section"> <ul><li>Each component of the path name can be up to 255 characters long. The
full path name can be up to 16 MB long.</li>
<li>There is no limit to the depth of the directory hierarchy other than program
and server space limits.</li>
<li>The characters in names are converted to UCS2 Level 1 form (for *TYPE1
directories) and UTF-16 (for *TYPE2 directories) when the names are stored.</li>
