A.6 DST Commands for /etc/opt/novell/shadowfs.conf

Use the commands in this section for the Shadow File System configuration file (/etc/opt/novell/shadowfs.conf).

SHADOW root_path primary_area_path shadow_area_path

Defines a shadow volume for ShadowFS. A shadow volume that is defined by the NCP engine is automatically mounted by ShadowFS and does not need to be defined in this configuration file.

SHIFT_ON_MODIFY value

Enables a modified file to be moved from the secondary storage area to the primary storage area. The value can be either 0 (Off) or 1 (On). The default value is 1. When this parameter is on, and a file that is located in the secondary storage area is modified, the file is automatically moved back to the primary area when the file is closed.

SHIFT_ON_ACCESS value

Enables a file to be moved from the secondary storage area to the primary storage area if it is accessed a second time during a specified time period. The value can be either 0 (Off) or 1 (On). The default value is 0. When this parameter is on, and a file that is located in the shadow area is accessed, if this is the second access within the configured SHIFT_DAYS_SINCE_LAST_ACCESS, the file is automatically moved back to the primary storage area when the file is closed.

SHIFT_DAYS_SINCE_LAST_ACCESS value

Specifies the number of days to use when determining if a file should be moved back to the primary storage area. The value may be 0 (Disable), or between 1 and 365 (in days). The default is 1. When it is used with SHIFT_ON_ACCESS, the parameter sets the time when files are migrated back to the primary storage area after the second access within the specified elapsed time.
