    VxVM gen vs fsgen volume type describes the differences between the gen and fsgen volume types in VxVM. The gen type does not assume the volume contains a file system, while fsgen does. When taking snapshots of fsgen volumes, VxVM will issue sync commands, but not for gen volumes. While gen volumes can contain file systems with no harm, some VxVM commands use the volume type field. The default volume type for vxassist is fsgen.

    VxVM gen vs fsgen volume type

    Contributed by Tony Griffiths

    The usage types allow VM to make assumptions on the volume contents. fsgen assumes that there the
    volume contains a file system and gen does not. When using VM snapshots, VM will issue sync
    commands when its breaking a mirror off a fsgen volume. It will not do this for a gen type. Usually there
    is no real harm in having a file system on a gen type volume but some VM commands will use this field.
    With vxassist the default is fsgen.

    Also check out the contents of /usr/lib/vxvm/type.

    BTW, you cannot change the usage type on the fly.
