Here is the basic layout I recommend. It gives you a maximum of
flexibility.
| Temporary storage | Incremental backup | Full backup
| not backed up | storage | storage
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Native FS | temp_native: | incr_native: | full_native:
| view/ | - | vob/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
NetApp or | temp_alien: | incr_alien | full_alien
other foreign | pool/d | bin | pool/s
Filesystem | pool/c | lib | snapshots
| pool/dot_s | trigger |
| config_specs | thirdparty |
| download | release |
The logical tree structure I use is this:
/ccase/
|_bin My wrapper scripts
|_lib My libraries (perl modules)
|_release ClearCase release area
|_config_specs Storage place for generating config specs
|_download Place to download things (like patches)
|_snapshots VOB snapshots
|_trigger My triggers
|_thirdparty Third party software (compilers, libraries etc...)
|_pool
|_s Remote storage pools
|_c "
|_d "
|_dot_s View remote storage
When setting this up, I select which machine should host which parts and
set up a file system like this:
/export/<storage_type>/ccase/<part>.
My NFS mount map contains a combination of remote mounts and loopback
mounts to create the logical structure above.
Note that this structure remains orthogonal to any hardware decisions you
may make.
