212 Chapter 10 Verity Troubleshooting Utilities
The utility reads srcCollection and splits it in roughly equal-sized pieces, using the
file names given for
newCollection1 and so on.
If you want to split a very large collection into a large number of new collections, you
can use the following option instead of explicitly naming each new collection:
merge -split -number newCollection srcCollection
The utility reads the collection identified by srcCollection and splits it into the
number of segments specified by the
-number option. The name of the first new
collection is generated by appending the first two letters in the alphabet (aa) to the
directory name given for
newCollection. Each subsequent file name is generated by
incrementing one of the appended letters (up to zz) for a maximum of 676 partitions.
For example, if the value of
-number is 3, and the value of newCollection is
Collection1, the collections are named, Collection1aa, Collection1ab, and
Collection1ac.
Note
The maximum length of the directory name given for
newCollection is 2 characters
less than the length allowed by the file system.
