[EP-tech] Antwort: Re: Problems with view generation: EPrints System Error

Hi Verena,

did you try out the --generate menus  option of generate_views? This reduces the number of files considerably.

Also, in our nightly cron job, we delete all files that are older than 24 hours.
 
Best regards,

Martin

Hi Adam,

For now, my colleagues in the IT service centre solved the problem by
raising the number of files permitted in one directory on our Netapp,
but that is only a temporary solution. Almost 340.000 files in one
directory are just too many, so I'll have to find a way to split the
person view into groups somehow.

Your suggestion of checking the number of variations should be a first
step in reducing the number of files. Here's our current view
configuration, which I'm going to change by taking away the DEFAULT
variation:

>        {
>                 id => "person",
>                 hideempty => 0,
>                 allow_null => 0,
>                 menus => [
>                         {
>                                 fields => [ "person_view_name" ],
>                                 mode => "sections",
>                                 grouping_function => "EPrints::Update::Views::group_by_first_character",
>                                 group_range_function => "EPrints::Update::Views::cluster_ranges_40",
>                                 new_column_at => [40],
>                                 open_first_section => 1,
>                         },
>                         ],
>                 order => "-date;res=year/title/publication/book_title",
>                 hideup => 0,
>                 nocount => 0,
>                 notimestamp => 0,
>                 include => 1,
>                 variations => [
>                         "type",
>                         "date;truncate=4,reverse",
>                         "DEFAULT",
>                 ],
>                 citation => "view",            # Views mit Volltext-Hinweis!

Thanks for all your help!
