Chapter 8. Deprecated Functionality
The following list of current functionality is deprecated and will be removed with the next Service Pack
or major SUSE Linux Enterprise Server release.
• The JFS filesystem is no longer supported for new installations. The kernel file system driver is still
there, but YaST does not offer partitioning with JFS.
• For the future strategy and development with respect to volume- and storage-management on SUSE
Linux Enterprise System, please see: http://www.novell.com/linux/volumemanagement/strategy.html
• The ippl package is deprecated and will be removed with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11.
• powertweak package is deprecated and will be removed with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11.
• CTC, ESCON, and IUCV IP interfaces are no longer officially supported. For compatibility reasons,
they are still usable, but with the next release of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, the support of these
interfaces will be dropped completely.
• For reasons of compatibility with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9, the mapped-base functionality is
present in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10. This functionality is used by 32-Bit applications that need
a larger dynamic data space (such as database management systems).
With SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, a similar functionality called flexmap is available. Because this
is now the preferred way, mapped-base is deprecated and will vanish in future releases.
