Importing Linux FS to AIX/Solaris/HP with fscdsconv -i option fails (4113627)

Last published : Sep 18, 2026
When you try to convert VxFS from a Big endian platform like AIX/Solaris/HP to a Linux platform using the "fscdsconv -i" command, the conversion process fails and fsck generates a coredump during attribute checking.
Worakaround:To convert VxFS from a Linux platform, it is recommended to use the "fscdsconv -e" command instead of "fscdsconv -i" initiated from a Big endian machine like AIX/Solaris/HP.
Example: /opt/VRTS/bin/fscdsconv -e -t os_name=AIX -f /recovery /dev/vx/rdsk/cdsdg/testvol
