Subj: Re: removing a sandbox
Mike,
What you need to do is manually back the sandbox to something that does
exist. Since this is an x-r5 sandbox, I suggest backing it to an
existing x-r5 pool, like ptlitex; once your sandbox is manually backed
then you can resb to what you've backed to (ensures rc_files are
correct); then you can do all the normal stuff - if you have check-outs
(even if they're checked in) that aren't outdated, then can be outdated,
then you can remove the sandbox "correctly":
% su
root# /usr/sde/odemount ptlitex
root# exit
% cd <sandbox_base>
% rm link
% ln -s /usr/sde/osf1/build/ptlitex link
% workon -sb <sbname> /* this couldn't work before, and should now */
% resb ptlitex
% exit
If you have nothing checked out in need of outdating you can now do:
% mksb -undo <sbname>
Otherwise workon to the sandbox; the list of files you have out -- and
which have rcs branches which could conflict with future work -- are in:
<sandbox_base>/src/.BCSset-<Principal_Name_setname>. If you don't deal
with sets you only have one of these and setname==sbname; if you have
multiple sets you need to work with each one separately to cleanup
using:
% workon -sb <sbname> <setname>
If you want to just get rid of everything you have, first unlock everything
that's locked:
% bcs -u -wall (-wall assumes you haven't manually chmod'd bco'd
file modes; if you have just use -all)
Then outdate all your private branches & remove all bco'd the files:
% bcs -o -all
Now you can exit and mksb -undo the sandbox.

I have an old sandbox backed by a backing tree which is no longer
available (ptx.bl2). I remember being told to never just delete a
sandbox as it the reservations and checkins may come back to haunt
me. Since the backing tree is no longer available, I cannot cancel
my reservations and delete my branches. The data is all stale so
I really have no need for it. I may want to reuse the sandbox name
at some time in the future though and want to avoid getting burned.
What do I do now?
Mike Schloss
