2.3 What’s New (OES 11 SP1)

Dynamic Storage Technology supports OES 11 SP1 file systems running on 64-bit SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 SP2. In addition to bug fixes, the following enhancements are available:

  • Search Pattern: You can specify file names with spaces in them.

  • ShadowFS: The Load ShadowFS now and at boot time option has been renamed as Load ShadowFS. When you select the Load ShadowFS check box and click Submit, Dynamic Storage Technology starts an instance of ShadowFS by issuing the /etc/init.d/novell-shadowfs start command when you click the button, and configures the server to load ShadowFS at system restart. Only one instance of ShadowFS should be running at a time. ShadowFS should be enabled only if you are using Novell Samba or supported Linux file access protocols to access the DST volume.

  • Subdirectory Restrictions: The Subdirectory Restrictions filter has been modified as follows:

    • Precede subdirectory paths with a forward slash (/), such as

      /subdir1/subdir2
      
    • In addition to subdirectory paths, the Exclude Subdirectory option allows you to specify a directory name that might exist in multiple places on a volume. You indicate this intended action by specifying only a directory name with no forward slashes, and the directory name must contain at least one wildcard (such as ? or *). All instances of directories that match the specified directory name are excluded from the policy run.

      For example, to exclude all GroupWise archive subdirectories, specify the following directory name with wildcards:

      of???arc
      

    For information, see Subdirectory Restrictions in the OES 11 SP1: Dynamic Storage Technology Administration Guide.
