[gpfsug-discuss] How to prove that data is in inode

[Kumaran Rajaram]

Hi,

>> How can I prove that data of a small file is stored in the inode (and
not on a data nsd)?

You may use echo "inode file_inode_number" | tsdbfs fs_device | grep
indirectionLevel and if it points to INODE, then the file is stored in the
inodes

# 4K Inode Size
# mmlsfs gpfs3a | grep 'Inode size'
 -i                 4096                     Inode size in bytes

# Small file
# ls -l /mnt/gpfs3a/hello.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 Jul 17 08:32 /mnt/gpfs3a/hello.txt

# ls -i /mnt/gpfs3a/hello.txt
91649 /mnt/gpfs3a/hello.txt

#File is inlined within Inode
# echo "inode 91649" | tsdbfs gpfs3a | grep indirectionLevel
  indirectionLevel=INODE status=USERFILE

Regards,
-Kums

Hello,

How can I prove that data of a small file is stored in the inode (and not
on a data nsd)?

We have a filesystem with 4k inodes on Scale 5.0.2 , but it seems there is
no file data in the inodes?

I would expect that 'stat' reports 'Blocks: 0'  for a small file, but I see
'Blocks:1'.

Cheers,

Heiner

I tried

[]# rm -f test; echo hello > test
[]# ls -ls test
1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 Jul 17 13:11 test
[root at testnas13ems01 test]# stat test
