Subj: re: removing stale sandboxes
Bill, sorry no one responded to your first mail, attached.
Any files that you had done a "bco" on, but had not yet "outdated"
still retain private "Bill_Arvidson_setname" in the rcs pool, and,
if you ignore these, they can come back to haunt you, if you ever
reuse the same set (or sandbox) name.
For and bci's you've done, the files you checked in are available,
and can be recovered by just doing the appropriate bco [-u].
Clearly, edits done and not bci'd are not saved in RCS. Was this on a
system which has backups done (for example, guru or an nfs mount from
guru)? If so then the sandboxes can be restored.
If not, then several things can be done. If you have the sandbox names,
and you do in the ~/.sandboxrc file, then you know what RCS branch names
were used for your files (assuming you haven't named additional setnames
within sandboxes).
If you know what files you'd bco'd then these sets can be easily recreated.
If you don't know what files you bco'd, this information can be recovered
by checking all 20,000 files in the RCS pool for "Bill_Arvidson_setname",
though it can take some time (we'd do it locally with rlog, not blog).
For now, I'd leave your .sandboxrc file alone, so as not to reuse any
existing names unless you plan on re-creating those sandboxes, utilizing
the existing RCS control information. If you do want to re-create a
sandbox, this involves recreating the .BCSset-Bill_Arvidson_setname
and .BCSconfig files, which I'd suggest we help you with.
Let us know how you'd like to proceed.

Hello,
I had a disk fail that took out a bunch of
my sandboxes. My .sandboxrc has information
about them but is not usefull anymore.
How do I get rid of all of the remnants of
the sandboxes in a clean manner.

How do I get rid of a sandbox that was declared on a disk drive
that has failed.
