Just to confirm that I understand correctly....

When speaking about:
SPARC Solaris 8, Veritas Volume Manager 4.x

Is this Correct ? -

-- Using Inode fileserver partitions "/vicep(x)" on VxVM volumes is OK, do 
not use VxFS, usual vfsck warnings apply.


Is this Correct ? -

-- To use VxFS, you MUST build and use an OpenAFS NAMEI fileserver instead, 
which incurs a slight performance penalty (~10% compared to inode -- YMMV), 
but you have a normal filesystem as underlying store.



Any other large caveats (Veritas VxVM vs. OpenAFS 1.2.x & 1.3.x) ?


Best Regards,
