Luke, Other's have suggested ways to delete a portion of a filespace. Please allow me to also point out that setting a very high VerExists and VerDeleted wastes lots of processing time. For every file TSM has to go to its database and count how many versions there are. If you really want unlimited versions then use the keyword "nolimit". When TSM sees that it realizes that it doesn't need to count, and just stores this version.
Have fun!

The data is is library with a number of different subdirectories for each project. They require we keep all data forever until they specify it may be deleted. They've asked us to set up verexists 9999 and verdeleted 9999. Being TSM views the mount "/data" as one filespace, I'm wondering if we can purge a portion of that filespace when they approve it. For example a subdirectory may be /data/mars02lib/... After the project has been terminated they would like us to delete the mars02lib but still retain all of the other libraries under /data. Any suggestions/advice would be highly appreciated. Thanks! Luke Dahl NASA-Jet Propulsion Laboratory 818-354-7117
