Hi All,

We have a script that takes the output of mmlsfs and mmlsquota and formats a 
users’ GPFS quota usage into something a little “nicer” than what mmlsquota 
displays (and doesn’t display 50 irrelevant lines of output for filesets they 
don’t have access to).  After upgrading to 4.2.3-4 over the weekend it started 
throwing errors it hadn’t before:

awk: cmd. line:11: fatal: cannot open file `/var/mmfs/gen/mmfs.cfg.show' for 
reading (Permission denied)
mmlsfs: Unexpected error from awk. Return code: 2
awk: cmd. line:11: fatal: cannot open file `/var/mmfs/gen/mmfs.cfg.show' for 
reading (Permission denied)
mmlsfs: Unexpected error from awk. Return code: 2
Home (user): 11.82G 30G 40G 10807 200000 300000
awk: cmd. line:11: fatal: cannot open file `/var/mmfs/gen/mmfs.cfg.show' for 
reading (Permission denied)
mmlsquota: Unexpected error from awk. Return code: 2

It didn’t take long to track down that the mmfs.cfg.show file had permissions 
of 600 and a chmod 644 of it (on our login gateways only, which is the only 
place users run that script anyway) fixed the problem.

So I just wanted to see if this was a known issue in 4.2.3-4?  Notice that the 
error appears to be coming from the GPFS commands my script runs, not my script 
itself … I sure don’t call awk!  ;-)

Thanks…

Kevin
