Advisory: Deprecation of support for VxFS

InterSystems will end support for using the VxFS filesystem with InterSystems IRIS and label it as deprecated as of the release of InterSystems IRIS 2023.3.

InterSystems will continue to support existing customers using the technology but does not recommend for new deployments.

VxFS had only been supported on SUSE Linux. Impacted customers are encouraged to migrate to XFS or another supported filesystem. Additional information is available in this Developer Community post.

If you have any questions regarding this notice please contact your sales team or the Worldwide Response Center.
