Hi folks,

We’re currently investigating a way to check for stale file handles on the 
nodes across our cluster in a way that minimizes impact to the filesystem and 
performance.

Has anyone found a direct way of doing so? We considered a few methods, 
including simply attempting to ls a GPFS filesystem from each node, but that 
might have false positives, (detecting slowdowns as stale file handles), and 
could negatively impact performance with hundreds of nodes doing this 
simultaneously.

Thanks,

Alex
