The snapshot view directory uses the host’s native file system
(unlike a dynamic view, which uses the MVFS). In addition to copies of versions,
the root of this directory contains the following files and subdirectories,
which are created and modified
Rational® ClearCase® commands
and must never be modified in any other way:
- view.dat
- A read-only text file used to identify the current directory as part of
a view. (.view.dat on Linux® or the UNIX® system.)
- view.stg (or a generated directory name)
- A directory used to maintain the view. (.view.stg on Linux or
the UNIX system.)
For a collocated view storage directory only, the default name of this directory
is named view.stg; for any other view storage directory,
this directory has a generated name.
