We have done 15 approximately 1 hr in length SD recordings. A couple are 3 hrs in length. A couple are a few minutes in length. Total time is approximately 15 hrs.

This is what the space looks like:

[root@worker-qa opencast]# du -hs *
324K    archive
4.0K    archive-temp
6.5G    downloads
14G     files
4.0K    ingest
416K    schedulerindex
332K    searchindex
340K    seriesindex
776K    workflow
11G     workspace

I have not put in a ticket, because it's not clear this is a bug. However, surely 15 hours of SD recording does not require over 30gb of storage space. The questions I am raising and discussion I'm trying to have is about what this storage is being used for. Once a good understanding of this is achieved on list, an appropriate wiki article can be written for it and adopters will be able to make intelligent storage decisions.

I don't understand. Either I configure it or it is a default. What else is there?

Hi Jonathan,

While I can't speak for Alex, there is no documentation that I know of that 
explains what matterhorn is storing in its data directory and ultimately what 
needs to be kept and what doesn't.

This largely jas to do with the fact that so far there was no real storage 
management in Matterhorn. This however is abou to change with 1.4 which, as you 
know, has not been released yet which is part of the reason why its 
documentation is not complete.

Matterhorn produces a lot of temp files when performing its operations, some of 
which I am certain can be deleted.  But which ones?

This is news to me, and I am wondering what those temp files are that remain 
after the processing of a workflow. Did you by any chance file a ticket?

Likewise when performing backups, what do we need to make sure is kept, what 
can be thrown away?

That very much depends on your installation. Running a 1.3, the directories to 
keep are those configured  or defaulting to some initial values in 
config.properties.
