Pool mode processing

When run with the –pool option, checkvob examines some or all of the VOB’s source, DO, and cleartext pools.

For each kind of pool (source, DO, cleartext):
  1. Checks pool roots. Checks pool names, locations, and pool identity information. Each pool must have a valid pool_id file. Problems found at this stage cannot be fixed by checkvob and must be directed to IBM Software Support for Rational products.
  2. For source pools, checks the installed type managers to verify that they support the get_cont_info method, which checkvob requires when processing elements.
  3. For source and DO pools only:
    1. Scans the VOB database for missing (referenced, but not found) or misprotected containers.
    2. Generates a list of problem VOB objects.
    3. If –fix is specified, processes each VOB object on the list as described in Individual file element or DO processing.
  4. Scans for unreferenced data containers.
  5. If –fix is specified, moves each unreferenced container to the pool’s lost+found directory.
