Subject: Channel Archiver - recovering from power outage

Hi All,

We start the Archive Daemon on boot in /etc/rc.local. As engine lock files will be left after a power failure, for example, it's tempting to first remove any remaining archive_active.lck files. However, the Channel Archiver manual warns against blindly removing these lock files before backing up and testing the data files.

Is looking at any given PV using ArchiveExport an appropriate test to ensure the data files are not corrupt, or is some other test recommended?

Should it be safe to remove archive_active.lck files before starting the ArchiveDaemon in /etc/rc.local?

Many thanks,
Devin
