VxFS provides options to the fsckptadm command interface to administer Storage Checkpoint quotas. Storage Checkpoint quotas set the following limits on the amount of space used by all Storage Checkpoints of a primary file set:
In case of a hard limit violation, various solutions are possible, enacted by specifying or not specifying the -f option for the fsckptadm utility.
See the fsckptadm
(1M) manual page.
Specifying or not specifying the -f option has the following effects:
If the -f option is not specified, one or many removable Storage Checkpoints are deleted to make space for the operation to succeed. This is the default solution.
If the -f option is specified, all further allocations on any of the Storage Checkpoints fail, but existing Storage Checkpoints are preserved.
