3.6.6 metaData.sh script 
The  metaData.sh script accepts parameters interactively via the OSS command 
prompt. 
Invoke the script from the OSS prompt by typing: 
metaData.sh 
Accepted Parameter  Default Value  Usage 
Min power of two  9  The minimum power of two, used 
when creating BuddySets. Valid 
range is between 5 and 20. The 
power of two is converted into a 
segment size which is used when 
creating a BuddySet. 
Max power of two  20  The  maximum power of two, used 
when creating BuddySets. Valid 
range is between 10 and 31. The 
power of two is converted into a 
segment size which is used when 
creating a BuddySet. 
File Size  2048  The size of each BuddySpace file to 
be created specified in megabytes. 
If the default min and max powers 
were selected (9 & 20) then 12 
BuddySpace files are created for each 
BuddySet. Each BuddySet would 
therefore consume a total of 24 
gigabytes of disk space.

The FSM index file and all SQL 
tables are audited so it should not be 
necessary to audit the object content.  
However, it may be desirable to audit 
the BuddySpace file if Remote 
Database Facility (RDF) is used to
