volume.dat

NAME

SYNOPSIS

AVAILABILITY

DESCRIPTION

This definitions allow to save data to different locations when for instance storage capacity is shortening or due to possible conceptual considerations.

FILEFORMAT

YEAR ; DESCRIPTION ; PATH ;

Rows starting with a # are considered as comments. Empty lines are allowed, too.

It is allowed to have multiple volume definitions for a year (= multiple definition lines having the same YEAR entry but different PATH definitions). The first matching YEAR definition will be used to save the data to, all other matching entries will be used to read and purge the data from.

OPTIONS

YEAR

to this location all data that will expire on the year specified is saved to.

If a retention exceeds the YEAR definitions, the data save will not be performed.

The RETENTION_MAX setting in the lots.cfg configuration file has also influence to the save and lock behaviour of lots. See lots.cfg(4).

DESCRIPTION

description of the volume.

PATH

base path where the data is saved to. The complete path where the data is saved to is: <PATH>/<YEAR>/<MMDD>/<DATALIST>/<COUNTER>/data/ (example: /dat/worm_all/2010/0426/DB_ASYPROD/000/data ).
