<span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Dear GPFS users,</span><br>
<span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I know that through a policy one can know if a file is still being transferred from the cache to your home by AFM.</span><br>
<span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span><br>
<span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I wonder if there is another method @cache or @home side, faster and less invasive (a policy, as far as I know, can put some pressure on the system when there are many files).</span><br>
<span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I quickly checked mmlsattr that seems not to be AFM-aware (but there is a flags field that can show several things, like compression status, archive, etc).</span><br>
<span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span><br>
<span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Any suggestion ?</span><br>
<span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span><br>
<span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Thanks in advance,</span><br>
<span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span><br>
