On the WebCT Users<\/a> email list (hosted by Blackboard) there is a discussion about a mysterious directory called unmarshall which suddenly appeared. We found it under similar circumstances as others by investigating why a node consumed so much disk space. Failed command-line restores end up in this unmarshall directory.<\/p>\n

Unmarshalling in Java jargon means:<\/p>\n

converting the byte-stream back to its original data or object 1<\/a><\/sup><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This suspiciously sounds like what a decryption process would use to convert a .bak file into a .zip so something can open the file.<\/p>\n

This is fourth undocumented work space where failed files site for a while and cause problems and no forewarning from the vendor.<\/p>\n

Previous ones are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Failed UI backups<\/strong> end up in the weblogic81 (Vista 3, does this still happen in Vista 8?) directory.<\/li>\n
  2. Failed tracking data files<\/strong> end up in WEBCTDOMAIN\/tracking<\/a> (Vista 3, apparently no longer stored this way in Vista 4\/8 according to CSU-Chico and Notre Dame)<\/li>\n
  3. Web Services content<\/strong> ends up in \/var\/tmp\/<\/a> and are named Axis####axis. These are caused by a bug in DIME (like MIME) for Apache Axis. No one is complaining about the content failing to arrive, so we presume the files just end up on the system.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    #3 were the hardest to diagnose because of a lack of an ability to tie the data back to user activity.<\/p>\n

    Is this all there are? I need to do testing to see which of these I can cross off my list goring forward in Vista 8. Failed restores are on it indefinitely for now.
