Staging MSS Files |
Since MSS is an enormous filesystem, not all files
can reside on disk. Most files are stored on tape.
Staging is simply the process of moving a file
from tape to disk.
Use the stage command. From an NCSA HPC system, the syntax is as
follows:
msscmd stage waittime filename(s)
where waittime is the desired waiting time (locked by the transaction) in seconds. You are given control of the prompt when waittime has expired. If you do not want to be locked by the transaction, enter a zero value. Files will be staged to disk regardless of the value of waittime.
The stage command also allows you to specify multiple
filenames or recursiveness as well as wildcards. (not available in kerberized FTP).
Please contact the NCSA Helpdesk by email at
help@ncsa.uiuc.edu,
or by
phone at (217) 244-0710. Include the list of files and their location.
