PurgeWhenFull problem

Post by kame50 »

Hi

i have problem with filters, zmfilter deletes db entries but images are still
on the hard drive..... i've read on this forum that if i unmark fast_delete
options the zmfilter will delete db entries and files on the hard drive but
the images are still on the hardrive and they are waiting fo zmaudit to delete
them

just want to be sure about it... if fast delete is unchacked and i will delete
an event the images should be gone too, right?
coz in my situations theye are not

thanks for any help

oh
system is slack 10.1
zm-1.21.4

the fast delete will only delete items as the filter runs, it wont affect previous entry you will have to wait for zm audit to clear those up.

i have situation like:
when the disk has reached i.e. 95% zmfilter start deleting entries....
but it deletes only entries.... images are still on the drive... so the disk is
still full in 95% so zmfilter still deleting entries.... without any disk capacity result ;) and after 900s cames zmaudit to delete files....

i thought that if fast_delete is unchacked zmfilter should delete both = enrties and files without waiting for zmaudit was i wrong?

i hope your not cos thats how i understood it. FAst delete off should delete both the images and the entries from the db. I will test mine later and see what happens
