Note – Use volume overflow with caution only after thoroughly assessing its effect
on your site. Disaster recovery and recycling are much more difficult with files that
span volumes. For more information, see the Sun StorageTek Storage Archive Manager
Troubleshooting Guide and the request(1) man page.
The archiver controls volume overflow through the ovflmin directive. The
ovflmin directive specifies the file size threshold that triggers the overflow process.
By default, volume overflow is disabled.
This directive has the following format:
Assume that many files exist with a significant mo media cartridge fraction length
(such as 25 percent). These files leave unused space on each volume. To better pack
volume space, set ovflmin for mo media to a size slightly smaller than the size of
the smallest file. The following directive sets it to 150 megabytes:
Note that enabling volume overflow in this example also causes two volumes to be
loaded for archiving and staging the file because each file will overflow onto another
volume.
The ovflmin directive can also be set for an individual archive set.
The sls(1) command output lists the archive copy showing each section of the file
on each VSN.
CODE EXAMPLE 3-4 shows the archiver log file and CODE EXAMPLE 3-5
shows the sls -D command output for a large file named file50 that spans
multiple volumes.
