Global Archiving Directives
Global directives control the overall archiver operation and enable you to optimize
archiver operations for your site’s configuration. You can add global directives
directly to the archiver.cmd file, or you can specify them using the File System
Manager software. For more information on using File System Manager to set global
directives, see the File System Manager online help.
Global directives in the archiver.cmd file can be identified either by the equal sign
(=) in the second field or by the absence of additional fields.
Global directives must be specified prior to any fs= directives in the
archiver.cmd file. The fs= directives are those that pertain to specific file systems.
The archiver issues a message if it detects a global directive after an fs= directive.
The archivemeta Directive: Controlling Whether Metadata
Is Archived
The archivemeta directive controls whether file system metadata is archived. If
files are often moved around and there are frequent changes to the directory
structures in a file system, it is a good idea to archive the file system metadata. In
contrast, if the directory structures are very stable, you can disable metadata
archiving and thereby reduce the actions performed by removable media drives as
cartridges are loaded and unloaded. By default, metadata is archived.
This directive has the following format:
For state, specify either on or off. The default is on.
The metadata archiving process depends on whether you are using a Version 1 or a
Version 2 superblock, as follows:
■ For Version 1 file systems, the archiver archives directories, removable media
files, segment index inodes, and symbolic links as metadata.
■ For Version 2 file systems, the archiver archives directories and segment index
inodes as metadata. Removable media files and symbolic links are stored in
inodes rather than in data blocks. They are not archived. Symbolic links are
archived as data.
