Hello, While reviewing AMS software suite for installation, I noticed this remark (https://www.scm.com/doc/Installation/Additional_Information_and_Known_Issues.html#gpfs-file-system):
----- GPFS file system<https://www.scm.com/doc/Installation/Additional_Information_and_Known_Issues.html#gpfs-file-system> Starting with AMS2019, the KF sub-system (used for handling binary files such as ADF’s TAPE* files) has been rewritten to use memory-mapped files. The mmap() system call implementation is file-system dependent and, unfortunately, it is not equally efficient in different file systems. The memory-mapped files implementation in GPFS is extremely inefficient. Therefore the users should avoid using a GPFS for scratch files -------- Is this claim true? Are there caveats to this statement, if true?
