Hi Ahmed

You might take a look at the file system manager nodes (mmlsmgr) and see if any 
of them are having problems. It looks like some previous “mmdf” command was 
launched and got hung up (and perhaps was terminated by ctrl-c) and the helper 
process is still running.  I have seen mmdf get hung up before, and it’s 
(almost always) associated with the file system manager node in some way. And 
I’ve had a few PMRs open on this (vers 4.1, early 4.2) – I have not seen this 
on any of the latest code levels)

But, as Olaf states, getting a mmsnap and opening a PMR might be worthwhile – 
what level of GPFS are you running on?

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [gpfsug-discuss] GPFS long waiter

I’m facing long waiter issue and I could not find any way to clear it, I can 
see all filesystems are responsive and look normal but I can not perform any 
GPFS commands like mmdf or adding or removing any vdisk, could you please 
advise how to show more details about this waiter and which pool it is talking 
about…  and any workaround to clear it.

for pool freeSpace recovery'
