Multiple archive content stores?

Hello,

If we configure Alfresco to use multiple content stores across several disks… can a separate "contentstore.deleted" (archive content store) be configured for each disk?

So each disk would have two content stores: an active one and an archived one.

Is this the right model to use? We cannot find any example on the net that illustrates this, and the org.alfresco.repo.content.cleanup.DeletedContentBackupCleanerListener code seems to suggest there is only a way to specify the destination content store for deleted content, not the source… which means only one content store for deletion?

The problem with that is that content would be copied from all active content stores (across multiple disks) to one archive in one disk… that seems negative from a performance perspective…

Any advice or pointers to examples would be appreciated.

Thank you.

If you feel you have contentstore.delete is too large you can certainly move some contents to other drive manually.
It seems you have only one alfresco instance running and you can only set one delete store location as follow but
dir.contentstore.deleted=${dir.root}/contentstore.deleted
I think that should not be much issue because contents will be moved to that store though scheduler.

Other thing which I do not understand is why content from different store will be copied to deleted content store? because Alfresco facilitate you to copy content from one active server different target content store but all other will be kind of backup stores where you have only one primary store and scheduler will move content from that primary store to deleted store location.
