[ run [dspace]/bin/cleanup to get rid of old stale bitstreams ]
Thanks Stuart, yeah, DSpace flags bitstreams for delete without deleting them unless cleanup is called. The importer script I have tries to add or replace a package but it should really test first before doing, ie. use ItemImport with the --test flag (exit status = 0 means good to add or replace?). Could incomplete add and replace ItemImport operations be wasting assetstore space? -- Van Ly -----Original Message----- From: Stuart Lewis [mailto:s.le...@auckland.ac.nz] Sent: Tue 26/05/2009 6:36 PM To: Van Ly Subject: RE: [Dspace-tech] archive_directory & assetstore growth Hi Van Ly, Have you tried running [dspace]/bin/cleanup to get rid of old stale bitstreams? (Also, the asset store contains the extracted text copies of files you uploaded, but I wouldn't expect them to take up 3x the size of your new files).

The archive_directory is like the one shown in dspace-1.4.2-source/docs/application.html#itemimporter and is a copy of all packages successfully imported in 1.4.2 DSpace with 8.1 Postgresql. When the archive_directory grew from 50-51Gb, that 1Gb difference grew the DSpace assetstore by 4Gb, is that supposed to happen? or are failed import attempts (and retries) responsible for leaving clutter in the assetstore? or are package replacement operations (and many repeats) responsible for leaving earlier duplicate copies of bitstreams behind? I was expecting a successful 1Gb feed to DSpace would grow the assetstore by about 1Gb plus & minus a little bit. Any `clue' is much appreciated. -- Van Ly
