<font size=2 face="sans-serif">I think you "got it" - despite
the name "remote" - mmremotefs is an access method and a way
of organizing your data and machines into several clusters - which can
work great if your network(s) are fast enough. For example you can
have one or more client clusters with no GPFS(Spectrum Scale) file systems
stored "locally". And one or several clusters that
are servers to those client clusters. </font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">AFM is about caching and replicating
files... You might do that because of "remote-ness" -
or for other reasons...<br></font><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">--marc</font><br><br><br><br><font size=1 color=#5f5f5f face="sans-serif">From:

vs AFM? With mmremotefs the actual data lives on the remote cluster
right so if you need data closer then AFM make more sense to use? If
the clusters get disconnected with mmremotefs I have not access to the
data with AFM I do. </font><br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font><br><font size=2 face="Calibri">Do I have these concepts right in my head?</font><br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font><br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font><br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font><br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font><br><img src=cid:_4_0F1C35E80F1C337C005A5589852580F3 alt=id:image001.png@01D2709D.6EF65720 style="border:0px solid;"><br><font size=2 face="Calibri"><b>Mark R.
