Yes, that advertisement makes me smile 😊

I have tried both of those, and they do not seem to make any difference.  I have also played with the -A and -a parameters with no combination that I can find making it any better.

Thanks for the feedback.

So…. the advertisement ssys we should be able to do 1M files/s…

First I  would try is if maybe limiting which nodes are used for the processing helps. Maybe limit to the NSD-servers (-N nodenames) ?

Also,  --choice-algorithm fast might help..?

I am trying to use mmapplypolicy to determine what files are modified in a particular snapshop.  Below I have the policy and mmapplypolicy parameters I am using.  It is taking 3-4 hours to list these files. There are roughly 176M files.  This is running on a DDN Gridscaler 12K system.   Seems to me after seeing others posts we should be able to run this much quicker.  Any help would be appreciated.


mmapplypolicy fs2 -S 20210104 -I defer -A 175 -a 72 -B 10000  -N all -g /fs1/tmp/heath -P /fs2/tmp/snaps/heath.pol -f /fs2/tmp/snaps/heath/output/20210104

RULE 'find_mods' list 'mods'
DIRECTORIES_PLUS
WEIGHT(0)
SHOW( VARCHAR(USER_ID) || ' ' || varchar(FILE_SIZE) || ' ' || varchar(MODIFICATION_SNAPID) )
