This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --------------enigF0E61A2C4182F27AC290D583 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable This is the situation: - there's one file system on a RAID controller, somewhat slow and with=20 limited space, let's call it "production" - there's another file system on a big IDE drive - a lot of files are saved on the production file system, but the=20 usefulness of that data shaply declines with time (recent files=20 absolutely need to be kept, but older files are optional) The idea: - create a unionfs that covers both file systems, so that new files are = created on the RAID-backed file system, but all files are visible - create a cron job that moves older files from the production file=20 system to the spare file system I've not started it yet (waiting for csup to RELENG_6) but is there any=20 "hidden" reason this shouldn't work? I'm asking because the files will=20 be moved from one part of the unionfs (upper) to the other (lower), on=20 different file systems, probably while concurrently accessed. --------------enigF0E61A2C4182F27AC290D583 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGOw1WldnAQVacBcgRAifyAKDZRfubTl3wGAoJqlBwEMA5LXQf6ACcCdDI P4AUjufsIBVdpRGDNFcVHP4= =v5FX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigF0E61A2C4182F27AC290D583--
