<h1 class="topictitle1">Integrated file system conversions</h1>
<div><p><span>(This information applies only if you are upgrading
from V5R2. The conversion does not affect the length of time for an upgrade.)</span> As
of V5R1, the "root" (/), QOpenSys, and user-defined file systems (UDFS) in
the integrated file system support the *TYPE2 directory format. </p>
<p>The *TYPE2 directory format is an enhancement of the original *TYPE1 directory
format. *TYPE2 directories have a different internal structure
than *TYPE1 directories and provide improved performance and reliability.
In releases V5R1 and V5R2, you could optionally convert to the *TYPE2 directory
format using the appropriate conversion utility. Additionally, if the server
was preloaded with V5R2, the directory format was *TYPE2.</p>
<p>If you have not previously converted to support *TYPE2 directories,
the conversion to *TYPE2 directories automatically begins for any of the file
systems shortly after <span>V5R4</span> is installed. This conversion
runs in the background during normal operations and should not significantly
impact your system activity. For more information on integrated file system
directory conversions, see <a href="../ifs/rzaaxconchapter.htm">Convert directories from *TYPE1 to *TYPE2</a> .</p>
