content store, Y Drive and mount

kalpana

I was reading through manual. It says "Content Store is a large directory created by the TeamSite installation program thatcontains TeamSite files and metadata. By default, the Content Store is located in c:\iw-store"
When I go to c:\iw-store>dir on command prompt, I dont see any content stores. Size of iw-store is only @ 100 mb. While size of Y drive is about 30 GB
I think of mount now. When the size of Y drive is huge than iw-store, does it mean that content stores are created in iw-store and mounted on Y drive ?
Pls correct me if I am wrong and explain mount.

Thanks

If you are concerned about the amount of disk used, it will be in the iw-store which, it sounds like is in c:\iw-store. You can verify that by looking at iwstoreadm or in the iw.cfg.

The Y: drive is a virtual mount of the iw-store. So all work is done in Y: and you never, ever on pain of really **** things up, touch c:\iw-store. When you view the properties of Y:, since it is a virtual driver (as opposed to a physical disk) the parameters it shows (size, %full, etc) are from the physical disk, in this case the C:

Hi Kalpana, Since you are new, and to better understand the concept, Y drive signifies the decrypted content store whereas C:\iw-store signifies the encrypted content store..

You cannot perform any operations or access directly or indirectly content on C:\iw-store but you always refer to your content through the Y drive.

From the command line on the server - type:

C:\> iwgetstore

It is possible that while the default is C:\iw-store, and someone may have started using that store at one point - that you may in fact be using a content store on a different drive, and therefore the fact that C:\iw-store is so small is because it's not actively being used.

Of course that's all conjecture - but ...

"Y:" Drive has nothing whatever to do to encryption, decryption and similar concepts.

iwstore is a collection of IWOV proprietary (B-Tree?) Files containing TS Repository: Data, Metadata, WFs and other TS Objects.
iwserver + IWOV NT FSD implement Virtual File System (VFS) and expose iwstore as "Y:" Drive with regular File Interface for TS
Users and Developers.

Bo, I understand the concept. This is just for Kalpana's understanding... I am sure we can not refer any content directly in iw-store.. and we need iwfsd to access the content...

I would refer to the same as encryption and decryption for someone starting on TS.

Heres the deinition of encryption from wikipedia -

encryption is the process of transforming information (referred to as plaintext) using an algorithm to make it unreadable to anyone except those possessing special knowledge,

If you understand the concept you might as well use correct terminology, no matter for who's understanding.

PGP Files are encrypted. Your https over SSL communication with your Bank is encrypted. iwstore Files ares simply binaries, they are no more
encrypted than oh say MS Word document in the internal Format. The fact that it is "unreadable to anyone except those possessing special knowledge"
does not mean it's encrypted though. All you need is MS Word to read it, just like you need TS to access iwstore as VFS.

iwstore is not encrypted it (can be) compressed. I have, (on old versions of TS) recovered data when the DB got corrupted and it was fairly easy. Determining what you recovered was not trivial.
