Hi everyone,

I have done my updates to the Data Storage section 8. I’ve added in the Space and Directory Management Operations and done some small editorial changes/trimmings to the existing text.

 

There were a couple of bits that I wasn’t sure about:

 

  1. In section 8.4 I have currently left in the “Retention Type” Storage Space Property, but I wonder if this paragraph should be deleted since I thought there had been some discussion about whether including the storage space terms ‘permanent’, ‘volatile’ and ‘durable’ was a good idea or not?

 

  1. I haven’t touched section 8.5 “Site and VO Management”, but should this section be kept in or perhaps moved somewhere more general? Most of section 8.5 is applicable to all data services I think, and not just storage services.

 

  1. Section 8.7 “Interaction of Storage and Transfer” is probably out of date now and could be deleted perhaps??

 

 

Cheers, Stephen.
