I have 5.0.4 for the moment (planned to be updated next year) and what I see is:

[root@sf-dss-1 tmp]# locate mmfind
/usr/lpp/mmfs/samples/ilm/mmfind
/usr/lpp/mmfs/samples/ilm/mmfind.README
/usr/lpp/mmfs/samples/ilm/mmfindUtil_processOutputFile.c
/usr/lpp/mmfs/samples/ilm/mmfindUtil_processOutputFile.sampleMakefile

Is that what you are talking about ?

Thanks,

   Alvise

If you are running on a more recent version of Scale you might want to look at 
the mmfind command.  It provides a find-like wrapper around the execution of 
policy rules.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [gpfsug-discuss] Question on changing mode on many files
Date: Tue, Dec 7, 2021 8:53 AM


Dear users/developers/support,

I’d like to ask if there is a fast way to manipulate the permission mask of 
many files (millions).



I tried on 900k files and a recursive chmod (chmod 0### -R path) takes about 
1000s, with about 50% usage of mmfsd daemon.

I tried with the perl’s internal function chmod that can operate on an array of 
files, and it takes about 1/3 of the previous method. Which is already a good 
result.



I’ve seen the possibility to run a policy to execute commands, but I would 
avoid to execute external commands through mmxargs, 1M of times; would you ?



Does anybody have any suggestion to do this operation with minimum disruption 
on the system ?



Thank you,



    Alvise
