on the store server. It can be used to view information related to
accounts, as well as create, change and delete accounts on the store
server.bbstoreaccounts always takes at least 2
parameters: the command name and the account ID. Some commands require
additional parameters, and some commands have optional parameters.OptionsThe configfile to use for connecting to the store. Default
is /etc/box/bbstored.conf.CommandsThe commands tells bbstoreaccounts what action to perform.checkaccount-idfixThe check command verifies the
integrity of the store account given, and optionally fixes any
corruptions. Note: It is
recommended to run the 'simple' check command (without
fix) before using the fix
option. This gives an overview of the extent of any problems,
before attempting to fix them.createaccount-iddisc-setsoft-limithard-limitCreates a new store account with the parameters given. The
parameters are as follows:The ID of the new account to be created. A 32-bit
hexadecimal number. Cannot already exist on the
server.The disc set from raidfile.conf5 where the backups for this client will
be stored. A number. Each RAID-file set has a number in
raidfile.conf. This number is what's used.The soft limit is the amount of storage that the
server will guarantee to be available for
storage.The amount of storage that the the server will
allow, before rejecting uploads, and starting to
eliminate old and deleted files to get back down to
soft-limit.deleteaccount-idyesDeletes the account from the store server completely.
Removes all backups and deletes all references to the account in
the config files.delete will ask for confirmation from
the user, when called. Using the flag,
eliminates that need. This is useful when deleting accounts from
within a script or some other automated means. 0infoaccount-idDisplay information about the given account.
Example:[root]# bbstoreaccounts info 1
Account ID: 00000001
Last object ID: 58757
Blocks used: 9864063 (38531.50Mb)
Blocks used by old files: 62058 (242.41Mb)
Blocks used by deleted files: 34025 (132.91Mb)
Blocks used by directories: 6679 (26.09Mb)
Block soft limit: 11796480 (46080.00Mb)
Block hard limit: 13107200 (51200.00Mb)
Client store marker: 1139559852000000Explanation:Account IDThe account ID being displayed.Last Object IDA counter that keeps track of the objects that
have been backed up. This number refers to the last file
that was written to the store. The ID is displayed as a
decimal number, and the object ID can be converted to a
path name to a file as follows: convert the number to
hex (e.g.: 58757 => 0xE585); The last backed up file
will be (relative from the client's store root):
e5/o85.rfw. Longer numbers infer
more directories in the structure, so as an example
3952697264 as the last object ID gives 0xEB995FB0, which
translates to a backup pathname of
eb/99/5f/ob0.rfw.Blocks usedThe number of blocks used by the store. The size
in Mb depends on the number of blocks, as well as the
block size for the disc set given in raidfile.conf5. In this case the block size is
4096.Blocks used by old filesThe number of blocks occupied by files that have
newer versions in the store. This data is at risk for
being removed during housekeeping.Blocks used by deleted filesThe number of blocks used by files that have been
deleted on the client. This data is at risk for being
removed during housekeeping.Blocks used by directoriesThe number of blocks used by directories in the
store.Block soft limitThe soft limit in blocks. The soft limit is the
maximum guaranteed storage space available to the
account. When housekeeping starts, and the old and
deleted files are removed, they are removed in
chronological order (oldest first), until the data used
is less than the soft limit.Block hard limitThe hard limit in blocks. The hard limit is the
most amount of storage the server will allow in an
account. Any data above this amount will be rejected.
Housekeeping will reduce the storage use, so more data
can be uploaded.Client store markerbbstored8 uses this number to determine if it
needs to rescan the entire store. If this number is
different from the last time it checked, a rescan will
take place.setlimitaccount-idsoft-limithard-limitChanges the storage space allocation for the given
account. No server restart is needed.Parameters:The ID of the account to be modified.The soft limit is the amount of storage that the
server will guarantee to be available for
storage.The amount of storage that the the server will
allow before rejecting uploads and starting to eliminate
old and deleted files to get back down to
