running iwfsfix after iwfsck

Do you need to freeze TS before running iwfsfix or iwfsshrink?

Also, we've just completed diagnosing our backing store with iwfsck.exe and found several errors. Does iwfsck try to repair the problems that it finds in the backing store?

For example, the results of the backing store diagnostic will show the following:

Error, in branch 0x788 tag point 0x317896 doesn't exist/
branch path is /default/main/intranet
FIX iwfsfix.exe delete_tag 0x788 0x317896

Based on this output, is iwfsck.exe trying to fix the reported error? Will an iwfsfix command be nessary afterwards?

We are running TS 5.01 on Win2k.

Thanks

Derek

I would actually suggest that you shutdown TS completely rather than just freeze. iwfix will be writing directly to the backing store and if you have iwserver running (even in just read only mode) there is a chance that a file will be opened.

as for iwfsshrink, I am not sure that it will do you much good. If you are interested in cleaning up space then you should look at TS5.5.2.

the iwfsfix line listed is what it suggests you type to fix the error using iwfsfix. Basically just copy and paste it to a command line. You can run iwfsck with a switch (I think -y) which will tell it to automatically try to fix any errors. You might want to make a good copy of your backing store before you do this just in case.

Will I need to freeze or stop TS completely to run iwfsfix?

See nacks earlier response - it is recommended that you stop it completely before running iwfsfix. If you're concerned about doing it, especially for the first time, I recommend you contact Interwoven Support and walk through the steps with them.
