seafile trash

[Mirco Vivaldi]

Hi,
I have a problem with seafile,
if I set the history for 7 days, I can't see any file I have deleted in the last month (for example), and this is correct...
but, if after some time I set "keep full history", I can see in the trash all file I have deleted (files deleted 2 months ago! and I can download these file)!
It seems that the files are never deleted from the server.
There is a way to correct this behaviour or a manual way to delete the file in the trash?

Thank you!

In Seafile, deleted files are not actually deleted. They are still in the history.

To completely delete the trash files,

1. Set history limit to some days

2. Run GC program on the server

In your case, you haven't run GC, so once you set the history back, you can see the files again.

Thank you for the super-fast answer!
it seems to work (30Gb of old files deleted!)
Do you think is it ok to put gc in crontab? (once a day)

Thank you again!

No, GC should only be run when Seafile server is not running.

 

Thank you again!

I was trying to run GC, as described at https://github.com/haiwen/seafile/wiki/Garbage-Collecting-Unused-Blocks-on-Seafile-Server

My seafile-data is at opt/seafile/seafile-data.

GC error, seafile-data does not exist. Failed to create seafile session.

I dont know how to modify your GC descriptions to fit my setup.

Seafile itself is located at: /seafile/seafile-server-1.7.0/seafile

Thanks

Michael:

Assuming that the user that executes the command have writing privileges to the seafile-data subdirectory:

first:

user@seafileserver:~$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/seafile/seafile-server-1.7.0/seafile/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

then:

user@seafileserver:~$ /seafile/seafile-server-1.7.0/seafile/bin/seafserv-gc -c /seafile/seafile-server-1.7.0/ccnet -d /opt/seafile/seafile-data
