I was going to keep mmdf in mind, not gpfs.snap. I will now also keep in mind that mmdf can have an impact as at present we have spinning disk for metadata. The system I am playing around on is not production yet, so I am safe for the moment.

Something to keep in mind that I should have said before-- an mmdf can be stressful on your system particularly if you have spinning disk for your metadata. We're fortunate enough to have all flash for our metadata and I tend to take it for granted some times :) From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: 3/29/17, 19:52 To: gpfsug main discussion list Subject: Re: [gpfsug-discuss] question on viewing block distribution across NSDs Thanks. I don’t have a snap. I’ll keep that in mind for next time I do this. From: mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Knister, Aaron S.

I'm not sure how to look back in time though to see the fs before the restripe. Do you perhaps have a gpfs.snap you took somewhat recently before the restripe? Maybe an internaldump in /tmp/mmfs somewhere?

I was sort of curious to see what the distribution looked like before and after the restripe. Is there any way of looking at it? Cheers, Greg.
