<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Perhaps I misunderstand here, but if the tenants have administrative (ie:root) privileges to the underlying file system management commands I think mmunlinkfileset might be a minor
concern here. There are FAR more destructive things that could occur. <br>
<br>
I am not an OpenStack expert and I've not even looked at anything past Kilo, but my understanding was that these commands were not necessary for tenants. They access a virtual block device that backs to GPFS, correct?

<span style="font-size:9.0pt; font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"; color:#222222">Manila presumably gives tenant users access to file system commands like mmlinkfileset and mmunlinkfileset. Given that mmunlinkfileset quiesces the file system, there is potentially
an impact from one tenant on another - i.e. someone unlinking and deleting a lot of filesets during a tenancy cleanup might cause a cluster pause long enough to trigger other failure events or even start evicting nodes. You can see why this would be bad in
a cloud environment.</span></p>
