StoredIQ - What do are the differences between the 'Access times' options when mounting a Volume on the Data Server
When creating a volume on through the Data Server UI, what are the differences between the options under 'Access times'?
Reset access times but do not synchronize them
Do not reset or synchronize access times
Reset and synchronize access times on incremental harvests
1) Reset access times but do not synchronize them (This setting is the default setting)
SIQ accesses your file but the access time stays as if SIQ did not access it. The index is not updated to reflect the new access time unless modification time has also changed. This option is usually going to be used 99% of the time.
2) Do no reset or synchronize access times
SIQ accesses your file and the access time reflects when SIQ touched it. The index is not updated to reflect the new access time unless modification time has also changed. This option is usually not recommended at all as it would just flatten all the access times and make them the same time as when SIQ accessed them. So if 10,000 files were harvested, all 10,000 of the documents will have the same access time if this option is used.
3) Reset and synchronize times on incremental harvests
This options just not recommended really at all as it is not very practical. Please contact support if you want more detailed information.
Note: 'Reset' in 'reset access times' refers to 'Set it what it was before we touched it' which is usually what we want as we want to know when users actually touched them, not when SIQ did.
