Index Size and Structure

The structure of the client file indexes avoids operating system restrictions on file size and allows the client file index for a single client to continue to grow. As the client file index grows, it splits into segments of 2 GB each. If you want to check the size of a client's file index, enter the nsrls -f command, for example:

# nsrls -f /nsr/index/clientname/db

The path in the example is the default path. To change the path where the index resides, change the value in the Index Path attribute in the details view of the Clients resource.

Do not use the UNIX ls command to check the size of the client's file index. The output of the nsrls -f command is a table, for example:

# nsrls -f /nsr/index/mars/db
Volume id 0: /nsr/index/mars/db
