Regarding actions performed via the command line, including snapshotting the workspace and configuring tracking settings

Summary

Version 4.0 enables snapshotting the workspace and configuring tracking settings directly from the console. If there's a configuration error in the console, try setting it from the command line.

1) Snapshot work area settings

#cd /opt/Actiphy
#./mkaiptmp setup

The displayed message indicates the size of the file you wish to set as the snapshot work area. Usually, the process continues without any issues.  

Input size of temporary file in MB (minimum 16MB): [2299]

* The 'makeitmp' command accepts setup and removal arguments.
* Using 'remove' with './mksetup' explicitly deletes the snapshot work area. 

2) Tracking settings

#cd /opt/Actiphy
#./setuptr

* All data on the specified device (volume) is completely cleared. 
* To utilize the volume configured as a dedicated device, you need to specify the release and format. 

In this case, /dev/sdb1 is used as a sustainable tracking-only device. The process continues as usual.

[root@localhost Actiphy]# ./setuptr
Setting up tracking device…
If you've already configured it as a dedicated device, the message "Would you like to use /dev/sdb1 for tracking? [Y/n] n" is displayed.
Please input a block device for tracking bitmap (or 'no' for temporary change tracking): /dev/sdb1.  
Would you like to format the tracking device now? [y/N] y.

Tracking device has now set up.

Next, set up the tracking table. Only devices (volumes) listed in the /etc/fstab are displayed in the tracking table. The process continues as usual. 

Setting up tracking table…
Would you like to add /dev/sda2? [Y/n] y
Would you like to add /dev/sda1? [Y/n] y
