ufs - ULTRIX local file system
Description
The ULTRIX file system is a local file system implemented under the Generic File System Interface, GFSI, which is described in UFS is a
reorganization of the file system that is always supplied with ULTRIX.
Aside from the difference in mounting and unmounting file systems, there are no observable differences in the file system compared to ear-
lier releases. ULTRIX file system disks are completely transportable between releases of ULTRIX.

gfsi - The Generic File System Interface
Description
The Generic File System Interface (GFSI) is the interface between the kernel and specific file system implementations such as the local
ULTRIX file system and the Network File System. The Generic File System Interface has many performance improvements, along with a complete
reorganization of the file system code. The GFS interface has been accomplished with modifications to both the mount table, and to the
inode, which under the GFS interface implementation is referred to as the gnode. The gnode is defined in the and
The GFS interface allows superusers to and file systems on local and remote machines. Changes to the file allow any type of mount to occur
automatically at boot time in the files and Other than mounting and unmounting file systems, users should not see any difference in the
local file system.
The GFS interface requires two system calls: and The system call handles generic mounted file system data. The system call handles generic
directory entries from any file system.

Good Afternoon,
I'm going to attempt a ufsrestore of a Solaris 9 machine from a connected NAS containing the ufsdumps. The idea is to be able to take ufsdumps of a failed machine (machine 1), and use them to set up a backup machine (machine 2). (I'm testing for disaster recovery)
