<html><body><p><font size="2">There isn't a "recommended" efix as such. Generally, fixes go into the next ptf so that they go through a test cycle. If a customer hits a serious issue that cannot wait for the next ptf, they can request an efix be built, but since efixes do not get the same level of rigorous testing as a ptf, they are not generally recommended unless you report an issue and service determines you need it.</font><br><br><font size="2">To address your other questions: </font><ul><font size="2">We are currently up to efix3 on 4.2.3.4</font><br><font size="2">We don't announce PTF dates, because they depend upon the testing; however, you can see that we generally release a PTF roughly every 6 weeks and I believe ptf4 was out on 8/24</font><br></ul><font size="2">Regards, The Spectrum Scale (GPFS) team<br><br>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>If you feel that your question can benefit other users of Spectrum Scale (GPFS), then please post it to the public IBM developerWroks Forum at <a href="https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/forums/html/forum?id=11111111-0000-0000-0000-000000000479">https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/forums/html/forum?id=11111111-0000-0000-0000-000000000479</a>. <br><br>If your query concerns a potential software error in Spectrum Scale (GPFS) and you have an IBM software maintenance contract please contact 1-800-237-5511 in the United States or your local IBM Service Center in other countries. <br><br>The forum is informally monitored as time permits and should not be used for priority messages to the Spectrum Scale (GPFS) team.</font><br><br><img width="16" height="16" src="cid:1__=0ABB0B39DFD02B8E8f9e8a93df938690918c0AB@" border="0" alt="Inactive hide details for "Knister, Aaron S.
