File system description

[Jan Rockstedt]

Hi all,

Where do I find an file system description for below file system?

I want to know what they are being used for.

Jan,

I'm not aware of a specific document which breaks this down for you but here is what each partition is used for.

/sw; /swstore; and /state are all used to store/execute the WAAS software modules.

/local/local1  is the default directory when you are logged into the CLI.  This and the subdirectories under it are where all the various log files are written (e.g. syslog.txt file)

.../local1/spool  is used for print services

/vbspace  is used for Virtual Blade file system storage and where the ISOs for the VB OS (e.g. W2K8.iso) will be placed

/obj1  this is the CIFS object cache

/dre1  this is used for the DRE byte level cache

/ackq1  this is used for TFO auto discovery

/plz1  this is used for LZ compression

Hope this helps,

P.S.  If this answers your question please mark it as such; thanks.

Thanks Mike,

As we are not using the Virtual Blade, can we reuse the /vbspace  to /obj1   ?

Jan,

The partition scheme can not be manually modified as it is pre-programmed when you install the .bin image and reboot the WAAS device.

However, as of 4.2.1 and only on the WAE-674 devices could you manually extend the CIFS object cache which would take away from the vbspace partition.

Hi Michael,

I manage a WAAS network with waas core  WAVE7541 in data center, Central Manager

installed on WAVE 594 with 4.4.3 version and remote waas modules (sm-sre-910-4.4.3.4

version) integrated on Cisco2951/K9 router.

On remote module I have

Disk encryption feature is disabled.

I ask you details on size, use and contents of following partitions:

/obj1 that is  CIFS object cache and /dre1 that is used for the DRE byte level cache

as indicated by you.

In particular I don't understand why if i connect to it through interface web,

from  the tab CifsAo->Monitoring->Cache, I see

Maximum cache disk size: 95.75391 GB

Is this value contained in the 121015 MB of  /obj1, Right?

Infact I have configured in the Central Manger a Prepositon Directive with Total Size as % of Cache Volume=20

What is the remaining content in /obj1?

While is the redundancy library contained in /dre1

to which WAAS device accesses to compress the traffic to as well as in /plz1?

Please can you do clarify  me?

Thanks a  lot in advance
