Rob, Thanks for that feedback. I guess the most important thing is that I check some files out after I do it and see if it's acting as suspected. If it does get set, then as you said I could just clear it and start the archiver and go on. I haven't yet started the new archiving process....right now I'm running a scan to see if anything still has a copy1 archdone flag yet. Once I see that it doesn't, I'll be able to start my archiving on a year by year basis. Looking forward to having some good fresh tapes, and this time I've tweaked some of the settings so there aren't as many tape drive start/stop's.

Tim, I think the archdone attribute WILL get set on those files, but when you remove them from the no_archive group and restart the archiver, it should clear that and archive them. Worst case, I think you can manually remove the archdone attribute. --Rob Rob LaRose systems administrator imaginary forces | 530 west 25th street | new york | p 646.486.6868 | www.imaginaryforces.com<http://www.imaginaryforces.com/> On 8/16/11 3:59 PM, "Tim Olson"<[email protected]> wrote:I'm wondering before I kick off this new archiving task that I'm reworking, about the effects on the "archdone" flag based on what I'm about to do. Below is the relevant part of the config. My goal is to temporarily prevent archiving of anything newer than the 2003 subdirectory. I want to kick them off so that I fill each VSN completely, and consecutively by year. I'm only working with copy 1 right now...copy 2 already has been written over time. I do realize that if I do what I'm doing, I won't be archiving 2011 stuff for a couple days. If I do what I have below, and I read the documentation on the web regarding "archdone" it sounds as if things that will never archive will get the archdone flag set. But, that the default for setarchdone is OFF if you have examine=noscan. What I'm trying to prevent is having everything in 2004 thru 2011 get the archdone flag set, just because I have it in the "no_archive" list right now. I plan to just remove lines one by one from no_archive, each time a year is done archiving, and also change the "radio ./2003" line to the next consecutive year. Am I going to have a problem with what I'm doing, like will 'archdone' be set, or am I doing OK/ Tim (global) examine = noscan (fs specific) fs = samfs3 no_archive ./2004 no_archive ./2005 no_archive ./2006 no_archive ./2007 no_archive ./2008 no_archive ./2009 no_archive ./2010 no_archive ./2011 radio ./2003 -stage a 1 -norelease 30s 2 -norelease 30s sjcfpacs ./SJCFPACS -stage a 2 -norelease 30s radio . -stage a 1 -norelease 30s 2 -norelease 30s sjcfpacs.2 li 002110 002111 radio.1 li 0011[0-9][0-9] # (1000) 001100-001199 radio.2 li 0021[0-9][0-9] # (1000) 002100-002199 CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This message is intended for the sole use of the individual and entity to whom it is addressed, and may contain information that is privileged, confidential, and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
