Is this a bug or an expected feature? -- Dr. Jürgen Hannappel DESY/IT Tel. : +49 40 8998-4616 _______________________________________________ gpfsug-discuss mailing list gpfsug-discuss at spectrumscale.org http://gpfsug.org/mailman/listinfo/gpfsug-discuss -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
