217.0. "Can RSD fix for v2.4 be implemented on v2.3?" by COPCLU::ELIN (Elin Christensen @DMO - DS, Denmark) Thu Mar 12 1992 08:45

    
    A customer still running ALL-IN-1 v2.3 wants to run RSD - Reorganize
    Shared Directories.
    
    Because of the risc that directory files might be corrupted, I have told
    him not to run RSD in v2.3 and have sent him the STARS article with the
    title
    "DO NOT RUN the Reorganize Shared Directories (RSD) Procedure in V2.3"
    
    For many reasons this customer cannot upgrade to v2.4 now.
    Can the fix of RSD for v2.4 be implemented on v2.3?  - How?

217.1V2.4 RSD will NOT work on V2.3AIMTEC::PORTER_TTerry Porter, ALL-IN-1 Support, Atlanta CSCThu Mar 12 1992 16:1963
The RSD in V2.4 is a complete re-write and I think it will NOT work on V2.3,
someone corect me if I am wrong!

The V2.3 RSD did very little really, it should be possible to do it manually
in a few minutes.

For each mail area do the following ...

1. Check the size of the shared area directory files. If none of them are
   over 60 blocks then you have finished.

2. If any of them are over 60 blocks then look for a new write window within
   the existing shared areas containing the same number of shared 
   areas, but with none of them having directory files over 60 blocks.
   If a contiguous set of shared areas is found set the write window to
   them and finish.

3. Create a new set of shared areas for the write window.

Some examples ...

1:

SHARE1.DIR  20 blocks
SHARE2.DIR  30 blocks
SHARE3.DIR  55 blocks
SHARE4.DIR  53 blocks
SHARE5.DIR  51 blocks

Write window is 3 to 5

In this case no changes are required.

2:

SHARE1.DIR  20 blocks
SHARE2.DIR  30 blocks
SHARE3.DIR  55 blocks
SHARE4.DIR  61 blocks
SHARE5.DIR  51 blocks

Write window is 3 to 5

In this case write window contains a directory that is too large, move
the write window to shared areas 1 to 3.

3:

SHARE1.DIR  20 blocks
SHARE2.DIR  30 blocks
SHARE3.DIR  61 blocks
SHARE4.DIR  53 blocks
SHARE5.DIR  51 blocks

Write window is 3 to 5

In this case no contiguous set of 3 shared area directories with fewer than 60
blocks can be found. Create new shared areas 6 to 8 and set the write window 
to them.

    Terry,
    I believe you are correct, but the person that did the re-write is 
    currently trying to find some snow to ski on in the Cairngorms. So
    you will probably not get a definitive answer until next week.
    Cheers,
    DaveT
