It appears to me that, when I archive a file, a database entry gets created
for every directory 'above' the file I'm archiving.
For example, if I "dsmc archive /usr1/mygroup/myhome/myfile1" then a
database entry would get created for /usr1/mygroup, /usr1/mygroup/myhome,
and /usr1/mygroup/myhome/myfile1. This is, perhaps, understandable.
If I then "dsmc archive /usr1/mygroup/myhome/myfile2" a second database
entry for both /usr1/mygroup and /usr1/mygroup/myhome would get created.
If I archive 1000 files from the same directory, three levels deep, I
(apparently) get an additional 2000 database entries that don't seem
necessary.
Is this true? If so, is there anyway to eliminate the duplicate database
entries for the same directory levels. As I understand it ADSM doesn't
"clean up" these directory entries from the database when file file is
removed anyway. Is that true? Ugh!!!
