<div dir="auto">I don't know if this would help you but I use a mod function on the inode of the file to break down the workload into smaller batches across the file system when doing compression and encryption options.<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">In the policy..

And the shares would be cumulative so you won't miss any files when you get to 10 it's really doing 1-10.. number of shares can be any arbitrary number.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Hope that helps. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Alec</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><div dir="auto"><div dir="auto"><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Sep 15, 2022, 9:01 AM Bill Anderson <<a href="mailto:andersnb@ucar.edu">andersnb@ucar.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div> Hi All,<div><br></div><div> We're trying to use both compression and snapshots on our filesystem, but find that we can't delete snapshots when compression is running.
