When you move a VOB from a Windows® host to a host running Linux® or the UNIX® system
or vice versa, all user identity information stored in the VOB storage directory
and VOB database must change. The binary data format of the VOB database must
change also.
When moving a VOB to a different operating system type, you must
take a number of additional steps beyond those required in most other VOB
move scenarios:
- Run vob_sidwalk before the move to capture information
about ownership of VOB objects.
- Use reformatvob to dump the VOB database into a portable
form.
- Copy the VOB storage directory, which includes the dumped database, to
the new host.
- Use reformatvob to load the VOB database in the proper
binary format.
- Reset the file-system protections on the VOB storage directory after the
move.
- Remap the SIDs (or, on Linux or the UNIX system, UIDs and GIDs) of owners of
objects in the VOB.
