Integrated file system conversion

The i5/OS operating system runs automatic conversions for file systems in the integrated file system to support new directory format or Unicode standard.

Converting directories from *TYPE1 to *TYPE2
The "root" (/), QOpenSys, and user-defined file systems (UDFS) in the integrated file system support the *TYPE2 directory format.
Converting names to support additional characters
File systems store names in Unicode. Those file systems that are not case sensitive are affected by changes in characters and the casing rules for a specific Unicode standard. File systems that are not case sensitive, such as the "root" (/) and user-defined file systems (UDFS) that are created with CASE(*MONO), support Unicode Standard 4.0 as of i5/OS V6R1.
