Saving a mounted UDFS

When you save a mounted UDFS, both the UDFS information and objects within the UDFS are saved. You can restore either just the objects within the mounted UDFS, or restore both the UDFS information (/dev/asp/udfs_name.udfs) and the objects within the UDFS.

Ordinarily, you should unmount user-defined file systems (UDFS) before save and restore operations. Menu options 21, 22, and 23 of the GO SAVE command provide an option to unmount UDFSs before the save operation.

To save a mounted UDFS, specify the following command:

SAV  OBJ(('/appl/dir1')

The system mounted the UDFS over directory /appl/dir1.

If a save operation includes objects from mounted UDFSs, file system information is saved. You can restore a mounted UDFS by specifying the RBDMFS(*UDFS) parameter on the RST command. The RBDMFS parameter rebuilds the mounted file system during the restore operation.

However, if you omit the RBDMFS parameter or specify RBDMFS(*NONE), only the objects contained in the directory are restored and none of the file system information is restored.
