[gpfsug-discuss] AFM and Placement Policies

[Luke Raimbach]

Hi All,

I have two GPFS file systems (A and B) and an AFM Single Writer relationship: /fsB/cache writes back to /fsA/home

I have a placement policy which sets extended attributes on file creation in /fsB/cache.

When I create a new file in /fsB/cache/new.file and it is pushed back by AFM to /fsA/home/new.file, can the home fileset apply a different placement policy to add or modify extended attributes? I guess the deeper question is does each file system in this arrangement see the new.file as "new" in both locations?

Cheers,
Luke.
