[gpfsug-discuss] Policy scan of symbolic links with contents?

[Oesterlin, Robert]

Well - the case here is that the file system has, let’s say, 100M files. Some percentage of these are sym-links to a location that’s not in this file system. I want a report of all these off file system links. However, not all of the sym-links off file system are of interest, just some of them.

I can’t say for sure where in the file system they are (and I don’t care).

Looking to craft a policy scan that pulls out symbolic links to a particular destination. For instance:



file1.py -> /fs1/patha/pathb/file1.py (I want to include these)

file2.py -> /fs2/patha/pathb/file2.py (exclude these)



The easy way would be to pull out all sym-links and just grep for the ones I want but was hoping for a more elegant solution…
