E.5.1 Archive Directory Area
Directory
The directory section is used for selecting which archive directory to use,
or to add another directory. It is recommended that you first create the
directory from the command prompt.
$mkdir /bigdisk/tsarchive
Status
The Status section displays information about the chosen archive
directory.
Init
The Init button initializes the directory by prompting the user for a title for
the directory and also verifying the contents of the directory. Initialization
requires that the directory be empty, or that it contains ONLY TS archive
files. If a directory contains TS archive files, then the user will be prompted
for permission to delete them. The initialization feature can ONLY delete
TS data files for system security reasons. Note that if there are other non
TS archive files in the directory, then these must be manually deleted using
the UNIX "rm" command.
Partition
The Partition field displays the ratio of used disk space over total disk
space for the selected archive directory partition. For example, if the
selected archive directory is /bigdisk/tsarchive, the Partition field will
show the used/total disk space for /bigdisk/. The values displayed here are
for all types of files in the partition, not just the TS archive files. The filter
area provides information on the amount of storage used for just the TS
archive files alone.
E.5.2 TS Source
The TS source area is used to select which source is used to record data.
This button executes the TS switch utility. For more information, see
Section E.4 TS Switch Utility on page 423.
Action & Action Status
Once the source has been selected, data can be recorded or played back.
Pushing the record button begins the data recording. The inventory at the
bottom of the screen updates with TS file information. The Playback
