Hello fellow admin,
At the request of my group I have setup a 18Gb scratch disk (two 9Gb disks
in a single Advfs pool). My users are familiar to a two week (14 days)
scratch disk policy as used by some of our national facilities. For
example, every night root runs the following command which deletes any
file which hasve not been accessed in the past 14 days:
-- cut : cron tab --
45 4 * * * find /u/scr1/ -type f -atime +14 -xdev -exec \rm -f {} \; > /dev/null 2>&1
-- cut : cron tab --
However, the policy can be defeated if the user simply 'touches' any of
the files. I therefore wonder what fellow admins implement (or would
considering implementing).
Thank you.
Regards,
Rich
