File system off¶
How to reproduce the problem¶
Archive a file to tape:
[itctabuild02] ~ > echo -n '1234567890' > ten_byte_file.txt
[itctabuild02] ~ > run_eosuser1_shell
[itctabuild02] ~ (krb5=eosuser1)> xrdcp ten_byte_file.txt root://localhost//eos/dev/userfiles/testdir_1
[10B/10B][100%][==================================================][10B/s]
[itctabuild02] ~ (krb5=eosuser1)> exit
exit
[itctabuild02] ~ >
Observe that the file is only on tape (d0::t1):
[itctabuild02] ~ > run_eosuser1_shell
[itctabuild02] ~ (krb5=eosuser1)> eos root://localhost ls -y /eos/dev/userfiles/testdir_1/ten_byte_file.txt
d0::t1 -rw-r--r-- 1 eosuser1 eosuser1 10 Apr 21 10:56 ten_byte_file.txt
[itctabuild02] ~ (krb5=eosuser1)> exit
exit
[itctabuild02] ~ >
Request that the file be retrieved from tape:
[itctabuild02] ~ > run_eospoweruser1_shell
[itctabuild02] ~ (krb5=eospoweruser1)> xrdfs localhost prepare -s /eos/dev/userfiles/testdir_1/ten_byte_file.txt
eos:044620011458020202280000000001000042:e03bfa81.5e9eb2b9:11
[itctabuild02] ~ (krb5=eospoweruser1)> exit
exit
[itctabuild02] ~ >
Observe that the file is both on disk and on tape (d1::t1):
[itctabuild02] ~ > run_eosuser1_shell
[itctabuild02] ~ (krb5=eosuser1)> eos root://localhost ls -y /eos/dev/userfiles/testdir_1/ten_byte_file.txt
d1::t1 -rw-r--r-- 2 eosuser1 eosuser1 10 Apr 21 10:56 ten_byte_file.txt
[itctabuild02] ~ (krb5=eosuser1)> exit
exit
[itctabuild02] ~ >
Determine the file system identifier of the disk replica and switch the corresponding file system off:
[itctabuild02] ~ > sudo eos root://localhost fileinfo /eos/dev/userfiles/testdir_1/ten_byte_file.txt

How an end user can recover the data¶
An end user cannot recover the data themselves because they do have the necessary privileges to change the state of the EOS file system where the disk replica is located.
What a tape operator can do to recover the data¶
Switch the EOS file system back on:
Copy the recovered file out:
[itctabuild02] ~ > run_eosuser1_shell
[itctabuild02] ~ (krb5=eosuser1)> xrdcp root://localhost//eos/dev/userfiles/testdir_1/ten_byte_file.txt /tmp/tmp_ten_byte_file.txt
[10B/10B][100%][==================================================][10B/s]
[itctabuild02] ~ (krb5=eosuser1)> cat /tmp/tmp_ten_byte_file.txt; echo
1234567890
[itctabuild02] ~ (krb5=eosuser1)> exit
