  OpenVMS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
OpenVMS (Open Virtual Memory System or just VMS) is the name of a high-end computer server operating system that runs on the VAX and Alpha family of computers developed by Digital Equipment Corporation of Maynard, Massachusetts (now owned by Hewlett-Packard), and more recently on Hewlett-Packard systems built around Intel Itanium CPU.
OpenVMS supports up to 96 nodes in a single cluster, and allows mixed-architecture clusters, where VAX and Alpha systems, or Alpha and Itanium systems can co-exist in a single cluster (Various organizations have or have demonstrated triple-architecture clusters and cluster configurations with up to 150 nodes, but these configurations are not supported by HP).
OpenVMS itself is implemented in a variety of different languages (primarily BLISS, VAX Macro and C, and the common language environment and calling standard supports freely mixing these languages, as well as Ada, PL/I, Fortran, Basic, and others), in contrast to a system such as Unix, which is implemented nearly entirely in the C language.

 Files-11 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The native OpenVMS filesystem is descended from older DEC operating systems, and is similar in many ways.
The filesystem is therefore organised in a tree-like structure.
Each file in the VMS filesystem may be thought of as a database, containing a series of records, each of which has one of more individual fields.

The OpenVMS (Virtual Memory System) operating system (OS) is a multi-user, multiprocessing OS that was designed by Digital (now owned by Hewlett-Packard) for use in time sharing, batch processing, and transaction processing.
OpenVMS supports up to 96 nodes in a single cluster, and allows mixed-architecture clusters, where VAX and Alpha systems, or Alpha and Itanium systems can co-exist in a single cluster (OpenVMS Engineering has suggested that triple-architecture clusters are possible in theory, but are not supported by HP).
OpenVMS itself is implemented in a large variety of different languages (such as BLISS, VAX Macro, Ada, PL/I, C, Fortran, Basic, and several others), in contrast to a system such as Unix which is implemented nearly entirely in the C language.

OpenVMS was the direct successor to DEC's RSX-11 OS on the PDP-11.
The first version of OpenVMS for the 64-bit Digital Alpha system was released as OpenVMS AXP 1.0, but this name caused enough confusion amongst customers that V6.0 and later releases used the same version numbers for VAX and Alpha systems.

Because of this, it is possible to call a routine written in one language—such as (A high-level programing language for mathematical and scientific purposes; stands for formula translation) FORTRAN—from another, such as (The 3rd letter of the Roman alphabet) C, without needing to know the implementation details of the target language.
OpenVMS has a very rich (additional info and facts about filesystem) filesystem, with support for stream and record-oriented IO, (additional info and facts about ACLs) ACLs, file versioning, etc.

 Encyclopedia: OpenVMS filesystem   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
ODS-1 is the flat filesystem used by the RSX-11 OS, supported on older VAX systems for RSX compatibility, but never used to support VMS itself; it has been largely superceded by ODS-2 and ODS-5.
Although seldom referred to by their ODS level designations, ODS-3 and ODS-4 are the Files-11 support for the CDROM ISO 9660 and High Sierra filesystems, respectively.
At the disk level, ODS represents the filesystem as an array of blocks, a block being 512 bytes, spanning one or more physical disks (volumes).

That is one of the higher hurdles filesystem designs have to get over in VMS land.
And this would mean that a user of OVMS would be able to access his files based on information that was far more comprehensive than other OSs allow.

 OpenVMS ask the wizard - Seeking OpenVMS Web Search Engine?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Commercially-available search engines for OpenVMS are scarce, but there are a few companies offering pure Java search engine implementations that may run on OpenVMS unmodified (talk to the vendor).
Compaq may include the source code for SWISH on the OpenVMS Freeware CD since it is no longer readily available on the Internet.
This method is fast, but the disadvantages are that the index is restricted to one host (multiple sites cannot be indexed), the indexing occurs on the raw files so server-side includes or JSP output is not indexed, and obsolete files are included in the index (even though no URL link exists).

(The decision to use the 1.x version numbering stream for the pre-production quality releases of OpenVMS AXP caused confusion for some customers and was not repeated in the subsequent porting program.) In 1994, with the release of OpenVMS version 6.1, feature (and version number) parity between the VAX and Alpha variants was achieved.

I worked about 3 years with vax /openvms and OpenVMS is not a unix os, it's compleetle different.
Gentoo and APT do this with /etc, but not very clean (not on filesystem layer) and not so obvious (it uses namespace instead of numbers), only for /etc but by default though.

 Filesystems HOWTO   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
On a filesystem mounted with BSD semantics, files are created with the same group id as their parent directory.
System V semantics are a bit more complex: if a directory has the setgid bit set, new files inherit the group id of the directory and subdirectories inherit the group id and the setgid bit; in the other case, files and subdirectories are created with the primary group id of the calling process.
The filesystem checker tests this to force the check of the filesystem regardless of its apparently clean state.

This is a new 64bit journaling filesystem using a balanced tree algorithms.
It is similar to the System V Release 4 filesystem, but it is using bitmaps instead of chained free-list of blocks.
The AFS filesystem can be 'extended' to handle file names up to 255 characters, but directories entries still have 14-char names.

So to find capacity of filesystem in bytes you need to multiply the size in blocks with the block size.
OpenVMS has experienced something of a renaissance recently due to it's legendary reliability, security and fault-tolerance.
OpenVMS has traditionally been available on VAX and Alpha architectures but since 2001 development has been underway by Compaq (now HP) to port OpenVMS to Intel Itanium with a new range of products due in late 2004.

 DJE Systems OpenVMS CD-ROM Page
The geometry of CD-ROMs on OpenVMS results in the number of blocks being calculated as multiple of 24: CD devices have a geometry of 4 sectors, 6 "heads" (tracks) and a number of cylinders.
We are also aware of a technique called "co-mapping" which maps the ODS filesystem structures to the extents within the ISO-9660 image wherein the files reside.
Even if the ISO-9660 filesystem structure did contain the RMS file and record attributes, non-OpenVMS operating systems would still lack support for RMS and the data would not be retrievable in a usable format in most, if not all, cases.
