SYNOPSIS

10       ws_find [-h] [-F FILESYSTEM] [-l] WORKSPACE

DESCRIPTION

14       Return  path  to  a  workspaces of the calling user.  The output can be
15       restricted to workspaces in a certain FILESYSTEM.
16
17
18       The idea of the workspace is to allow the administrator to keep control
19       of  filespace  in working filesystems, and to avoid the situations that
20       data of past and finished projects/jobs is idling for ever on disks.  A
21       user  can  create  and dispose arbitrary number of workspaces, they are
22       cheap, and can be created e.g. for each job.
23
24       From the system side, workspaces will be deleted after beeing  expired.
25       A friendly user can release workspaces before the expiration date using
26       ws_release which will mark the workspace for future deletion  and  make
27       the data unavailable.
28
29       Deletion is probably a task done once a night and not immediately.
30
31       If  a  workspace was forgotten and expired, it might make sense to con‐
32       tact the administrator, as he probaly can restore a workspace for  some
33       time, if disk space is not low.
