Hi What permissions you have ? Do u have only Posix , or also SMB attributes ? If only posix attributes you can do the following: - rsync (which will work on different filesets/directories in parallel. - AFM (but in case you need rollback - it will be problematic) Regards Yaron Daniel 94 Em Ha'Moshavot Rd Storage Architect ?

Sent by: gpfsug-discuss-bounces at spectrumscale.org I?m looking at migration 3-4 Billion files, maybe 3PB of data between GPFS clusters. Most of the files are small - 60% 8K or less. Ideally I?d like to copy at least 15-20M files per day - ideally 50M. Any thoughts on how achievable this is? Or what to use? Either with AFM, mpifileutils, rsync.. other? Many of these files would be in 4k inodes. Destination is ESS.
