To administer files from the CLI, use the ibrix_reten_adm command.

IMPORTANT: Do not use the ibrix_reten_adm command on a file system that is not enabled

for data retention.

Specifying path lists

When using the GUI or the ibrix_reten_adm command, you need to specify paths for the files

affected by the retention action. The following rules apply when specifying path lists:

• A path list can contain one or more entries, separated by commas.

• Each entry can be a fully-qualified path, such as /myfs1/here/a.txt. An entry can also

be relative to the file system mount point. For example, if myfs1 is mounted at /myfs1, the

path here/a.txt is a valid entry.

• A relative path cannot begin with a slash (/). Relative paths are always relative to the mount

point; they cannot be relative to the user’s current directory, unlike other UNIX commands.

• A directory cannot be specified in a path list. Directories themselves have no retention settings,

and the command returns an error message if a directory is entered.

To apply an action to all files in a directory, you need to specify the paths to the files. You can use

wildcards in the pathnames, such as /my/path/*,/my/path/.??*. The command does not

apply the action recursively; you need to enter subdirectories.

To apply a command to all files in all subdirectories of the tree, you can wrap the

ibrix_reten_adm command in a find script (or other similar script) that calls the command

for every directory in the tree. For example, the following command sets a legal hold on all files

in the specified directory:

find /ibrixFS/mydir -type d -exec ibrix_reten_adm -h -f ibrixFS -P {}/*

The following script includes files beginning with a dot, such as .this. (This includes file uploaded

to the file system, not file system files such as the .archiving tree.)

find /ibrixFS/mydir -type d -exec ibrix_reten_adm -h -f ibrixFS -P

{}/*,{}/.??* \;
