Hi, AFM does not support inode eviction, only data blocks are evicted and the file's metadata will remain in the fileset. ~Venkat (vpuvvada at in.ibm.com) From: Andreas Mattsson <andreas.mattsson at maxiv.lu.se> To: GPFS User Group <gpfsug-discuss at spectrumscale.org> Date: 09/05/2019 03:39 PM Subject: [EXTERNAL] [gpfsug-discuss] Inode reuse on AFM cache eviction Sent by: gpfsug-discuss-bounces at spectrumscale.org Hi, Does anyone here know if cache eviction on a AFM cache also make the inodes used by the evicted files available for reuse? Basically, I'm trying to figure out if it is enough to have sufficient inode space in my cache filesets to keep the maximum expected simultaneously cached files, or if I need the same inode space as for the total amount of files that will reside in the home of the cache.
