Veritas™ File System 5.0.1 Administrator's Guide

Try to convert synchronously the latest Storage Checkpoint to a nodata

Storage Checkpoint. The attempt will fail because the Storage Checkpoints

older than the latest Storage Checkpoint are data Storage Checkpoints,

namely the Storage Checkpoints old, older, and oldest:

# fsckptadm -s set nodata latest /mnt0

UX:vxfs fsckptadm: ERROR: V-3-24632: Storage Checkpoint

set failed on latest. File exists (17)

You can instead convert the latest Storage Checkpoint to a nodata Storage

Checkpoint in a delayed or asynchronous manner.

# fsckptadm set nodata latest /mnt0

List the Storage Checkpoints, as in the following example. You will see that

the latest Storage Checkpoint is marked for conversion in the future.

# fsckptadm list /mnt0

/mnt0

latest:

ctime = Mon 26 Jul 11:56:55 2004

mtime = Mon 26 Jul 11:56:55

flags = nodata, largefiles, delayed

old:

ctime = Mon 26 Jul 11:56:51 2004

mtime = Mon 26 Jul 11:56:51 2004

flags = largefiles

older:

ctime = Mon 26 Jul 11:56:46 2004

mtime = Mon 26 Jul 11:56:46 2004

flags = largefiles

oldest:

ctime = Mon 26 Jul 11:56:41 2004

mtime = Mon 26 Jul 11:56:41 2004

flags = largefiles

Creating a delayed nodata Storage Checkpoint

You can combine the three previous steps and create the latest Storage

Checkpoint as a nodata Storage Checkpoint. The creation process will detect the

presence of the older data Storage Checkpoints and create the latest Storage

Checkpoint as a delayed nodata Storage Checkpoint.
