Hi All,

Happy New Year to all!  Personally, I’ll gladly and gratefully settle for 2019 
not being a dumpster fire like 2018 was (those who attended my talk at the user 
group meeting at SC18 know what I’m referring to), but I certainly wish all of 
you the best!

Is there a way to get a list of the filesets in a filesystem without running 
mmlsfileset?  I was kind of expecting to find them in one of the config files 
somewhere under /var/mmfs but haven’t found them yet in the searching I’ve done.

The reason I’m asking is that we have a Python script that users can run that 
needs to get a list of all the filesets in a filesystem.  There are obviously 
multiple issues with that, so the workaround we’re using for now is to have a 
cron job which runs mmlsfileset once a day and dumps it out to a text file, 
which the script then reads.  That’s sub-optimal for any day on which a fileset 
gets created or deleted, so I’m looking for a better way … one which doesn’t 
require root privileges and preferably doesn’t involve running a GPFS command 
at all.

Thanks in advance.

Kevin

P.S.  I am still working on metadata and iSCSI testing and will report back on 
that when complete.
P.P.S.  We ended up adding our new NSDs comprised of (not really) 12 TB disks 
to the capacity pool and things are working fine.
