4.2.1.1 or CentOs 7. So that might account for it.

Thanks

What is the version of GPFS ? There was an issue fixed in Spectrum Scale 4.2.2 
for file count(file_nr) leak. This issue mostly happens on Linux kernel version 
>= 3.6.

We are trying to preform a file migration from our old GPFS cluster to our New 
GPFS Cluster using AFM.

Currently we have 142 AFM Filesets setup one for each fileset on the old 
cluster, and are attempting to prefetch the files. in batched of 100,000 files 
with "mmafmctl home prefetch -j $fileset --list-file=$curfile 
--home-fs-path=/data/$fileset 2>&1"

I'm doing this on a separate gateway node from our main gpfs servers and its 
work quiet well,

However there seams to be a leak in AFM with file handles and after a couple of 
days of prefetch the gateway will run out of file handles and need rebooting 
before we can continue.

We thought to begin with this was improved by not doing --metadata-only on the 
prefetch but in fact (As we where attempting to get the metadata before getting 
the main data) but in truth the machine was just lasting a little longer.

Does anyone know of any setting that may help this or what is wrong?

Thanks
