Locating MVFS data containers

You can use standard operating system utilities and the mvfsstorage command to find where MVFS files are physically stored. Locating this storage may help resolve file access problems in dynamic views.

Scenario

The scenario in these topics focuses on three files within VOB directory \monet\src, as seen through view allison_vu:
  • Element cmd.c has element type text_file and is currently checked out.
  • Element monet.icon has element type file and is not currently checked out.
  • File ralph_msg is a view-private file created by saving an e-mail message to disk.
