GOAL:
Which filesystems does Progress support?
GOAL:
Which filesystems does Progress require?
GOAL:
Which filesystem is
recommended for use?
FACT(s) (Environment):
OpenEdge 10.x
Progress 9.x
All Supported Operating Systems
FIX:
Our product is designed in a way that it is independent of the
filesystem in place. The only requirement we have for a filesystem is
that it works in a way filesystems are supposed to work. For example
when issuing an OS write command, we expect the OS and filesystem to
indeed store the data that is supposed to be written to persistant
storage (e.g. disk).
The operating system
abstracts the specific filesystems through a common API and we make no
assumption other than the commonly accepted semantics of this common API. We do
not code any specific behavior in our product based on which filesystem is in
use. Additionally you can mention what are the main requirements for a
filesystem: - that a write is actually committed on physical storage when the
operating systems reports so in the API - that synchronous sequential writes
are not re-ordered
Hence there are no specific recommendations or requirements when chosing a filesystem.
