convertfs(1M) convertfs(1M)
NAME
convertfs - convert an HFS file system to allow long file names
SYNOPSIS
[special-file]
DESCRIPTION
The command converts an existing HFS file system supporting the default maximum file name length of 14 characters into one that supports
file names up to 255 characters long. Once an HFS file system is converted to long file names, it cannot be restored to its original
state, since the longer file names require a directory representation that is incompatible with the default HFS directory format. Since
this is an irreversible operation, prompts for verification before it performs a conversion.
forces the system to reboot if the root file system is converted. When converting the root file system, the system should be in single-
user mode, with all unnecessary processes terminated and all non-root file systems unmounted. Except for the root file system, requires
that the file system to be converted be unmounted.
If invoked without arguments, interactively prompts the user with a list of the HFS file systems from One or more or all of the listed file
systems can be selected for conversion. Typically, it is desirable to convert all of the file systems in to avoid inconsistencies between
two file systems mounted on the same system.
can also be invoked with an argument of either a block or character special-file name for a file system to be converted. Only the block
special file should be specified for a mounted root file system.
As part of the conversion process, performs an on each file system (see fsck(1M)).
Options
Do it quietly.
will perform the conversions without querying the user. Normally prompts the user before converting a file system.
RETURN VALUE
returns the following values:
Success.
Either successfully converted the file system, or the file system already allowed long file names.
Failure.
was not able to convert the file system due to some failure in processing.
AUTHOR
was developed by HP.
FILES
Default list of file systems to check.
