performance penalty if archiving on a file system that has a large number of changes
to many subdirectories. When the scanlist is consolidated, these directories are
combined upwards to a common parent, which results in a deep recursive scan over
many subdirectories.
The setarchdone Directive: Controlling the Setting of the
archdone Flag
The setarchdone parameter is a global directive that controls the setting of the
archdone flag when the file is examined by sam-arfind.
This directive has the following format:
When all archive copies for a file have been made, the archdone flag is set for that
file to indicate that no further archive action is required. During an inodes scan, the
archiver detects whether the archdone flag is set, and if it is set the archiver does
not look up the path name for the inode.
During directory scans, the archiver also sets the archdone flag for files that will
never be archived. This can be a time-consuming operation and can impact
performance when large directories are scanned. The setarchdone directive gives
you control over this activity. The default setting for the directive is off if the
examine directive is set to scandirs or noscan.
This directive controls the setting of the archdone flag only on files that will never
be archived. It does not affect the setting of the archdone flag after archive copies
are made.
The wait Directive: Delaying Archiver Startup
The wait directive causes the archiver to wait for a start signal from samu(1M) or
File System Manager. By default, the archiver begins archiving when started by
sam-fsd(1M).
This directive has the following format:
The wait directive can also be set for an individual file system.
