Some installations require new directories that cannot be configured through the
client interfaces. These directories have features that can only be added through an
administrative interface on the back-end filer itself, such as disk quotas. If such a
directory is created behind a managed volume, you can use the sync utility to add it to
the metadata. This can only function for empty directories, and for directories that are
only on a single share behind the managed volume. From priv-exec mode, use the
command to search a managed-volume directory for any new,
sync directories
unrecorded subdirectories:
sync directories namespace volume vol-path path path
where:
namespace (1-30 characters) is the namespace to sync. Use the
command for a list of configured namespaces (see
namespace
Namespaces" on page 7-3
vol-path (1-1024 characters) chooses a specific managed volume in the
namespace. Use forward slashes (/) in the path, even for CIFS volumes.
path (1-1024 characters) selects a virtual path in the volume (for example, '/'
or '/home/jrandom'). The sync utility searches for new directories under this
path; it only searches this directory, and does not descend into any known or
discovered subdirectories.
Like the nsck and sync-files operations, this generates a report as it runs. The report
name appears after you issue the command.
For example, this command sequence synchronizes the root directory in the
medarcv~/lab_equipment volume and then shows the report:
