Ian,
That will be very helpfull. Thanks.
One problem is that you are calling e2fsck if I read your script correctly.
I don't think that works with xfs. xfs_check would be a better choice I think.
I don't know if there are any other maintenance programs one should invoke on
a scheduled basis.
And a real nit-picky thing is that you are not triming the xfs backup
inventory. It probably won't be a problem for a while.
xfsinvutil does this. I't looks easy to delete anything over a year old if you
want to do something like that.
It's probably going overboard, but I think I will actually write an expect
script that invokes xfsinvutil and actually maintains a preset retention
schedule.
i.e.
Quarterly Full - Maintain for 5 years
Monthly Full - Maintain for 12 months
Weekly Full - Maintain for 6 months
Daily Differential - Maintain for 3 months.
I tend to do something like the above for my production backup tapes, and it
only makes sense for the inventory to match the real tapes.
Thanks again,
Greg
