Filesets
View the information that is shown about filesets in file storage systems.
A fileset is a collection of files and directories on a physical or logical storage resource.
- Cache Role
- Specifies whether the cached fileset is a Cache target or a Cache source. Cache target is shown when the fileset contains the cached data of the source filesets. Cache source is shown for filesets that have copies of target filesets. If the cached fileset is neither a cache target nor a cache source, the field is left blank.
- Home System Name
- Shows the name of the share or export on the home fileset that is enabled for caching.
- Independent
- This information is available only for IBM
Storage Scale storage systems. If the column is marked,
the fileset is an independent fileset that has its own inode space. If the column is blank, the
fileset is a dependent fileset.
An inode space is a collection of inode number ranges that are reserved for an independent fileset. A dependent fileset shares the inode space of an independent fileset.
- Path
- The path for the fileset. The path is displayed only if Linked is displayed in the State field.
- Snapshots
- The snapshots of the fileset. If there is only one snapshot of the fileset, the name of the snapshot is shown. If there is more than one snapshot of the fileset, the number of snapshots is shown.
- State
- The state of the fileset. Valid values are listed.
- Linked
- The fileset is linked to the file system that is displayed in the File System field.
- Unlinked
- The fileset is not linked to the file system that is displayed in the File System field.
- Used Inodes
- For IBM Storage Scale, the number of inodes that are used by the fileset. An inode is the internal structure that describes the individual files in the file system metadata. An inode contains the node, type, owner, and location of a file.
- Used Inodes (%)
- For IBM
Storage Scale, the percentage of the
total inodes in the inode space that is already used by the fileset.
The total number of inodes in the inode space is represented by a bar. The percentage of inodes that is used by the fileset are represented by the blue section of the bar and as a percentage figure on the bar. The inodes that are used by other filesets that share the inode space are represented by the dark gray section of the bar. The available inodes in the inode space are represented by the light gray section of the bar.
- Used Capacity (GiB)
- The amount of storage capacity that is used by the fileset. Used capacity is not provided for filesets that are cache targets.
