<h1 class="topictitle1">How the server stores user-defined file systems</h1>
|
||
<div><p>In a UDFS, as in the <span class="q">"root"</span> (/) and QOpenSys file systems, users can
|
||
create directories, stream files, symbolic links, and local sockets.</p>
|
||
<div class="p">A single block special file object (*BLKSF) represents a UDFS. When you
|
||
create a UDFS, the server also creates an associated block special file. You
|
||
can only access the block special file through the Integrated File System
|
||
generic commands, application programming interface (API), and the QFileSvr.400
|
||
interface. Block special file names must be of the form: <pre>/dev/QASPxx/udfs_name.udfs</pre>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div class="p">Where <samp class="codeph">xx</samp> is the system or basic ASP number (1–32) where
|
||
the user stores the UDFS and <samp class="codeph">udfs_name</samp> is the unique name
|
||
of the UDFS. Note that the UDFS name must end in the <samp class="codeph">.udfs</samp> extension.
|
||
If the UDFS is stored in an independent ASP, the block special file name will
|
||
be of the form: <pre>/dev/device-description/udfs_name.udfs</pre>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>A UDFS exists only in two states: mounted and unmounted. When you mount
|
||
a UDFS, you can access the objects within it. When you unmount a UDFS, you
|
||
cannot access the objects within it.</p>
|
||
<p>In order to access the objects within a UDFS, you must 'mount' the UDFS
|
||
on a directory (for example, <samp class="codeph">/home/JON</samp>). When you mount
|
||
a UDFS on a directory, you cannot access the original contents of that directory.
|
||
Also, you can access the contents of the UDFS through that directory.
|
||
For example, the <samp class="codeph">/home/JON</samp> directory contains a file <samp class="codeph">/home/JON/payroll</samp>.
|
||
A UDFS contains three directories mail, action, and outgoing. After mounting
|
||
the UDFS on <samp class="codeph">/home/JON</samp>, the <samp class="codeph">/home/JON/payroll</samp> file
|
||
is inaccessible, and the three directories become accessible as <samp class="codeph">/home/JON/mail</samp>, <samp class="codeph">/home/JON/action</samp>,
|
||
and <samp class="codeph">/home/JON/outgoing</samp>. After you unmount the UDFS, the <samp class="codeph">/home/JON/payroll</samp> file
|
||
is accessible again, and the three directories in the UDFS become inaccessible.</p>
