Before version 2 of the git-annex repository, files added to the SHA
|
||
|
|
[[backends]] did not have their file size tracked, while files added to the
|
||
|
|
WORM backend did. The file size information is used for disk free space
|
||
|
|
checking.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Files added to the SHA backends after the conversion will have their file
|
||
|
|
size tracked automatically. This disk free space checking is an optional
|
||
|
|
feature and since you're more likely to be using more recently added files,
|
||
|
|
you're unlikely to see any bad effect if you do nothing.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That said, if you have old files added to SHA backends that lack file size
|
||
|
|
tracking info, here's how you can add that info. After [[upgrading|upgrades]]
|
||
|
|
to repository version 2, in each repository run:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
git annex migrate
|
||
|
|
git commit -m 'migrated keys for v2'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The usual caveats about [[tips/migrating_data_to_a_new_backend]]
|
||
|
|
apply; you will end up with unused keys that you can later clean up with
|
||
|
|
`git annex unused`.
