See the touch(1) documentation for the time/date formats allowed with the -d option. You can
also enter the following on a Linux command line to see the acceptable date/time strings for the
touch
command:
info "Date input formats"
Windows. Windows does not include a touch command. Instead, use a third-party tool such as
cygwin
or FileTouch to set the access time to the future.
NOTE: For SMB users setting the access time manually for a file, the maximum retention period
is 100 years from the date the file was retained. For NFS users setting the access time manually
for a file, the retention expiration date must be before February 5, 2106.
The access time has the following effect on the retention period:
•
If the access time is set to a future date, the retention period of the file is set so that retention
expires at that date.
•
If the access time is not set, the file inherits the default retention period for the file system.
Retention expires at that period in the future, starting from the time the file is set read-only.
•
If the access time is not set and the default retention period is zero, the file will become WORM
but not retained, and can be deleted.
You can change the retention period if necessary; see “Changing a retention period” (page 152) .
Viewing the retention information for a file
To view the retention information for a file, run the following command:
ibrix_reten_adm -l -f FSNAME -P PATHLIST
For example:
# ibrix_reten_adm -l -f sales_fs -P /sales_fs/dir1/contacts.txt
nl
/sales_fs/dir1/contacts.txt: state={retained} retain-to:{2011-Nov-10
15:55:06} [period: 182d15h (15778800s)]
In this example, contacts.txt is a retained file, its retention period expires on November 10,
2011, and the length of the retention period is 182 days, 15 hours.
File administration
To administer files from the GUI, select File Administration on the WORM/Data Retention panel.
Select the action you want to perform on the WORM/Data Retention – File Administration dialog
box.
