[gpfsug-discuss] mmapplypolicy - listing policy gets occasionally get stuck.

[Wilson, Neil]

Hi All,

We are occasionally seeing an issue where an mmapplypolicy list job gets stuck , all its doing is generating a listing from a fileset.
The problem occurs intermittently and doesn't seem to show any particular pattern ( i.e. not always on the same fileset)
The policy job shows the usual output but then outputs the following until the process is killed.
