SECURITY
  • All the files and directories in the catalog are world readable except for the index files, which have a ".index" suffix and are located in subdirectories under the top-level catalog "indexes" directory.
  • Because each index file is essentially an archive of metadata of an entire file tree, the catalog should be stored on a NetApp volume with export permissions matching the the actual sources and targets. Note that file data is not stored in the index, only metadata.
