iwfsshrink duplicate file limit??

Bill Klish

TeamSite 6.7.1
Red Hat Linux 4.4

We are in the process of migrating our store from TeamSite 6.1 to 6.7.1 and ran through some tests of a very complicated branch that has multi-lingual content, tons of editions and tons of EAs set on each file.

After partially migrating one of the sub branches (we were at 95% file system capacity so we stopped the iwmigrate process cleanly) we ran iwfsshrink and this is the result:

Not currently running.
Last started Sat Feb 17 02:00:08 2007
Last completed Sat Feb 17 16:17:40 2007
Files examined: 2337424
Bytes examined: 2074737341
Files found to be duplicates: 2295854
Files converted: 0
Bytes removed: 0


If there are 2,295,854 duplicates how could no files be cleaned up and space freed?

I am not intimately familiar with this tool, so perhaps I can think of 2 things. 1) the branch wasn't fully migrated so it can't be cleaned up until then, or 2) there is some sort of maximum duplicate file limitation we are bumping up against preventing this from working.

Anyone have any ideas/thoughts?

Very odd - I'd suggest contacting Support about this as I can't think of any reason why you would get duplicates found without either files converted and/or bytes removed.

Well, ... Perhaps it was during the cleanup that diskspace ran out and maybe the server got frozen while it was trying to clear space?

Try changing the server configuration (iw.cfg) with respect to percentage, and diskspace limits (the larger the disk, generally the smaller the percentage you need to keep free...)
