Run this command only if the archived file systems
are newer than the restored database and the journal
files have been preserved. The restore.pl
command will not replace the old journal, so no other
preparatory work should be needed if the journal file
has been preserved. The journal file is located in
$FS_HOME/journal/fsdbjrnl.
Step 3. On the other hand, if the database was lost, but the
current journal file is available, the database can
be brought up-to-date by running
fs_recover.
Trashcan
Cleanup
Another command that must be routinely run is fsclean.The
fsclean command purges the FileServ trashcan information.
Precautions must be taken when using the
fsclean command.
The trashcan serves as the repository for references to media
data that is deleted from the disk or modified. Each time a file is
modified, its tape copy becomes invalid. An entry is created in
the trashcan for the older version of the file. Also, when files
(containing current file copies on media) are removed (UNIX
rm), the trashcan receives an entry for each removed file.
Because of asynchronous processing, an fsclean performed
immediately after file removal may not completely clean the
media.
Caution
Using the fsclean command eliminates the ability to recover
files from the trashcan with the fsundelete command!
