ex나 vi 같은 에디터 사용 중, 해당 세션이 크래쉬가 생긴 경우 생성되는 덤프파일 저장소이다.
사용자가 "-r" 옵션을 사용하여 해당 파일(Ex******)을 추후에 복구 시킬 때 사용된다.
복구 할 필요가 없는 파일들은 삭제해도 무방하다.
그러나 디렉토리 자체를 삭제하면 안된다.
It's the preservation directory for ex and vi.
When an editor session crashes, a dump file is created in /var/preserve.
Users can then recover the files using the "-r" flag.
They can list saved files by using "-r" with no arguments.
They then recover a file by using "-r" with the file's name as listed (not the Ex* name from /var/preserve).
You can, and should, clean out old files, but don't remove the directory itself.
Example )
[localhost:root] /var/preserve > ls -al
