the clients are still in progress) from GPFS 4.2.1.1 to GPFS 4.2.2.1 and
there appears to be a change in how mmrepquota handles group names in its’
output. I’m trying to get a handle on it, because it is messing
with some of my scripts and - more importantly - because I don’t understand
the behavior.<br>> <br>> From one of my clients which is still running GPFS 4.2.1.1 I can run
an “mmrepquota -g <fs>” and if the group exists in /etc/group the
group name is displayed. Of course, if the group doesn’t exist in
/etc/group, the GID is displayed. Makes sense.<br>> <br>> However, on my servers which have been upgraded to GPFS 4.2.2.1 most
- but not all - of the time I see GID numbers instead of group names. My
question is, what is the criteria GPFS 4.2.2.x is using to decide when
to display a GID instead of a group name? It’s apparently *not*
the length of the name of the group, because I have output in front of
me where a 13 character long group name is displayed but a 7 character
long group name is *not* displayed - its’ GID is instead (and yes, both
exist in /etc/group).<br>> <br>> I know that sample output would be useful to illustrate this, but
I do not want to post group names or GIDs to a public mailing list … if
you want to know what those are, you’ll have to ask Vladimir Putin… ;-)<br>> <br>> I am in the process of updating scripts to use “mmrepquota -gn <fs>”
and then looking up the group name myself, but I want to try to understand
this. Thanks…<br>> <br>> Kevin<br>> <br>> <br>> —<br>> Kevin Buterbaugh - Senior System Administrator<br>> Vanderbilt University - Advanced Computing Center for Research and
