[gpfsug-discuss] Move data to fileset seamlessly

[Simon Thompson]

You could maybe create the new file-set, link in a different place, copy the data …

Then at somepoint, unlink and relink and resync. Still some user access, but you are potentially reducing the time to do the copy.

No — all copying between filesets require full data copy. No simple rename.

This might be worthy of an RFE, as it’s a bit unexpected, and could potentially work more efficiently..

Hello,

we usually create filesets for project dirs and homes.

Unfortunately we have discovered that this convention has been ignored for some dirs and their data
no resides in the root fileset. We would like to move the data to independent filesets.

Is there a way to do this without having to schedule a downtime for the dirs in question?

I mean, is there a way to transparently move data to an independent fileset at the same path?


Kind regards,

Ulrich Sibiller
