SYNOPSIS

10       ws_register [-h] [-F FILESYSTEM]  DIRECTORY
11
12

DESCRIPTION

14       Create  links to workspaces of the calling user in DIRECTORY and remove
15       links pointing to removed workspaces.  The action can be restricted  to
16       workspaces in a certain FILESYSTEM.

19       The idea of the workspace is to allow the administrator to keep control
20       of filespace in working filesystems, and to avoid the  situations  that
21       data  of past and finished projects/jobs is idling for ever on disks. A
22       user can create and dispose arbitrary number of  workspaces,  they  are
23       cheap, and can be created e.g. for each job.
24
25       From  the system side, workspaces will be deleted after beeing expired.
26       A friendly user can release workspaces before the expiration date using
27       ws_release  which  will mark the workspace for future deletion and make
28       the data unavailable.
29
30       Deletion is probably a task done once a night and not immediately.
31
32       If a workspace was forgotten and expired, it might make sense  to  con‐
33       tact  the administrator, as he probaly can restore a workspace for some
34       time, if disk space is not low.
