VICETAB(5)VICETAB(5)NAMEvicetab - information about Coda server data partitions
DESCRIPTIONvicetab is a table of Coda data partitions found on individual servers
comprising a Coda netowrk server. This includes partition(s) used by
the backup coordinator to store dump files to placed on a suitable
backup media. This file must be shared among all machines comprising a
Coda hub so edits should be done only on the designated SCM.
EXAMPLE VICETAB FILE
tye /vicepa ftree depth=5,width=8
tye /vicepb ftree width=8,depth=5
taverner /vicepa ftree width=8,depth=5
taverner /usr/vicepb ftree depth=4,width=8
tallis /vicepa ftree width=8,depth=5
tallis /vicepb ftree width=8,depth=5
dvorak /backup1 backup
dvorak /backup2 backup
dvorak /backup3 backup
Where column 1 specifies the server as returned by the system call
gethostbyname().
Column 2 specifies the directory of the Coda data tree which must be a
local file system partition for optimal performance. NOTE: if a server
serves than more than one Coda data parition, each data partition must
have a seperate entry in vicetab.
Column 3 specifies the Coda partition type.
· ftree an "inode number" directory and file naming system for storing
the Coda filesystem into a local file system tree structure: e.g.
inode 4711 in base 10 with width 1 and depth 5 would become
0/4/7/1/1. So, using the above example, a width of 4 and a depth of 2
would make the file name 4/711. If this storage type is specified,
the width and depth must also be given in the 4th column seperated by
a comma.
Column 4 specifies the width and depth of the ftree.
· width the maximum "width" of an ftree data partition.
· depth the maximum "depth" of an ftree data partition.
In the case of the backup coordinator, only the first three columns are
used, with a partition type of backup specified in the third column.
This file should only be edited on the designated SCM machine and then
allowed to propagate.
BUGS
None we currently are aware of.
