In a small deployment, the location for the Novell Filr file repository is /vastorage/filr. In a large deployment, the location for the Novell Filr file repository is /vashare/filr.
For information about sizing recommendations for the file repository, see Section 1.2.2, Filr Storage Size Requirements.
The data files not stored in the Filr database are divided into several functional areas:
Simple file repository: A large consumer of disk space.
All Personal Storage files are stored in the file repository.
Cache store: Consumes less disk space than the file repository.
Information derived from the Personal Storage files, such as thumbnails, HTML renderings, scaled images, and word lists for indexing are stored in the cache store.
Search index: (Small deployment only; in a large deployment, the search index is maintained on the separate search appliance) Takes only a fraction of the space consumed by the file repository.
The search index contains only pointers to the actual data stored in the file repository. The index enables the Lucene search engine to perform very fast searches through large quantities of data.
