I am not sure this will work, since I have never tried it, but perhaps you could enable file audit logging (FAL) and track only file deletions. Presumably you could then search through the FAL log for deletions after time T. This does of course require that you use the DME or Advanced version of Scale, and that you setup FAL.

If you are using mmbackup you could leverage the shadow DB but running the command before the next mmbackup with –preview candidates and see the expires there.

Never tried but in my head works … as so many other things that end up not, but worth the try as you then get free of jail from snaps. If you are doing snaps anyway due some other reasons then maybe is not worth the try to go mmbackup. -- Ystävällisin terveisin/Regards/Saludos/Salutations/Salutacions Luis Bolinches Executive IT Specialist IBM Storage Scale development Phone: +358503112585 Ab IBM Finland Oy Toinen linja 7 00530 Helsinki Uusimaa - Finland Visitors entrance: Siltasaarenkatu 22 "If you always give you will always have" -- Anonymous https://www.credly.com/users/luis-bolinches/badges<https://www.credly.com/users/luis-bolinches/badges> From: gpfsug-discuss <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Talamo Ivano Giuseppe Sent: Tuesday, 30 May 2023 16.55 To: [email protected] Subject: [EXTERNAL] [gpfsug-discuss] List of deleted files via policies Hello everyone, I am currently looking for the most efficient way to get a list of all deleted files since time T.

ZjQcmQRYFpfptBannerEnd Hello everyone, I am currently looking for the most efficient way to get a list of all deleted files since time T. So far the best I could come to is to create a snapshot at time T, generate two lists via policies, one for the files inside the .snapshots dir, one for the current filesystem, and compare the two with standard diff command. But I was wondering if is there any smarter way with policies only.
