File systems can only be enabled with file-level retention (FLR) capability at creation time.
When the file system is created and enabled for FLR, it is persistently marked as an FLR file
system and the FLR setting cannot be changed. After a file system is created and FLR is
enabled, an administrator can apply FLR protection to individual files. Files in the FLR
(locked) state can be stored with retention dates, which prohibit the deletion of the file until
expiration.
Using File-Level Retention on Celerra provides more information about FLR storage and FLR
file system behavior. I have attached this for you, as well as documentation for managing
filesystems manually.

thanks Sebbyr
do you know how FMA /VE interact with this FLR file system using it as an archive repository.
with FMA i know that i can made retention on a file sytem created with o without FLR enabled option
how do you explain this.
i allready confirmed this using FLR toolkit to see those two files system that were used as repository on FMA
we made some testing saving files on both system files.
FLR toolkit show retention date on both two file systems, if i only enabled FLR option just in one.
Does FMA activate itselft FLR even when the file system were not created with that option
thank you
