Infrastructure Impact

Pavon Server Capacity

New Storage Availability:

84TB free (69% available)
Sufficient for 2+ years of new camera footage at current rates
Can accommodate 40TB+ of backups from Jupiter if needed

Recommended Next Steps

Monitor growth: Track monthly storage consumption
Backup strategy: Use freed space for Jupiter backups
Retention policy: Consider automated cleanup for footage >3 years old
Archive access: Complete OwnCloud integration for web/mobile access

OwnCloud Integration Status

Completed

✅ SSH access to OwnCloud VM (172.16.3.22)
✅ samba-client installed
✅ SMB connectivity verified (guest access working)
✅ Pavon Storage share enabled (172.16.1.33)

Pending

⏳ External storage configuration via web UI
⏳ Test mobile/desktop access to Archive

Instructions: See owncloud-external-storage-setup-steps.md for web UI configuration guide.

Verification Commands

Check Current Space

ssh root@172.16.1.33 'df -h /mnt/user'

Expected Output:

shfs  121T  37T  84T  31%  /mnt/user

View Cleanup Log

ssh root@172.16.1.33 'tail -100 /root/cleanup_logs/cleanup_20260412_152424.log'

Count Remaining Files

ssh root@172.16.1.33 'find /mnt/user/Storage -name "*.avi" -type f | wc -l'

Verify Date Range

ssh root@172.16.1.33 'find /mnt/user/Storage -name "Event2023*.avi" -type f | head -1'

Should show files starting from May 2023 (202305) or later.

Maintenance Recommendations

Monthly Checks

Storage usage: Monitor growth rate
```
df -h /mnt/user
```
Camera health: Verify all cameras still recording
```
ls -lh /mnt/user/Storage/
```

File count: Track new footage accumulation

find /mnt/user/Storage -name "*.avi" -mtime -30 | wc -l

Quarterly Cleanup

Delete footage >3 years old:

Update cleanup script dates in /root/pavon_cleanup.sh
Run dry-run: DRY_RUN=1 /root/pavon_cleanup.sh
Review preview
Execute: DRY_RUN=0 /root/pavon_cleanup.sh

Or use automated cron job:

# Run quarterly cleanup (every 3 months on 1st day at 2 AM)
0 2 1 */3 * DRY_RUN=0 /root/pavon_cleanup.sh

Annual Review

Review retention policy (currently 3 years)
Assess storage capacity needs
Plan for capacity expansion if needed
Update camera inventory
