Can you use mmxcp with output from tsbuhelper? Becuase this would actually be a 
pretty good way of doing incrementals when deploying a new storage system 
(unless IBM wants to let us add new storage and change the block size.... 
Someday maybe...)

Though until mmxcp supports ACLs, it's still not really a solution I guess.

Subject: Re: [gpfsug-discuss] Best way to migrate data : mmfind ... mmxcp

Rather than hack rsync or cp ... I proposed a smallish utility that would copy 
those extended attributes and ACLs that cp -a just skips over.
This can be done using the documented GPFS APIs that were designed for backup 
and restore of files.
SMOP and then add it as an option to samples/ilm/mmxcp

Sorry I haven't gotten around to doing this ... Seems like a modest sized 
project...  Avoids boiling the ocean and reinventing or hacking rsync.
