In Domino Clusters, once symetric cluster feature is enabled, directory links are currently not honored.
Scenario:
In a two node domino cluster one node (node 2) has limited disk capacity on DominoDataDisk, that could not be extended! So a new disk for storing the archives was added to the system and linked into DominoDataDir\mail using a dirlink document (archive.dir pointing to the new disk *:\hcl\data\archive)
As soon as Auto-repair discoveres databases located on node 1 in folder mail\archive\ are missing on node 2, it will initiate a job to create a replica copy of the missing databases from node 1 to node 2. So far so good.
Problem here:
Because, Auto-Repair does not honor the archive.dir located under mail folder, Auto-Repair creates a new "physical" folder "archive" and replicates the missing replicas here. This will fill up the DominoDataDisk, resulting in a service outage of Domino.
Solution:
Auto-Repair should check for and honor DirLinks if found in DominoData to avoid an outaged.
At least it should run into an error, notifying the domino admin about the situation and NOT creating missing databases.
