Can a stale archive file be staged back?
I saw the following question on the samqfs email alias and wanted to post it in the community.
can a stale copy be staged back?
A user overwrote a file, and wants the original back. The original is on tape, but a dump was not taken with it on tape. Copy 1 on tape has been overwritten already. We have idled the archiver to prevent loosing the the pointer to copy 2. can we force a stage of a stale file? we released the newly overwritten file and tried to stage it back and received the message below.
[root@ux-003 ~]# sls -D /export/qfs/continue/file1
