Inode limits to set at cache and home

To control the number of inodes that are used by a cache or home fileset, you can specify a limit on the number of inodes for that fileset during fileset creation time. For more information about the --inode-limit option, see mmcrfileset command.

If a home is a dependent fileset in the file system, the inode limit used are the ones for the independent fileset where the dependent fileset is located. If the dependent fileset is located in the "root" fileset then the file system limits are used. However, if the dependent fileset is located in an independent fileset that is not the "root" fileset then the inode limits for that independent fileset are used.

Note: AFM does not perform eviction of file inodes, even if the inode limit is reached. The cache eviction is applicable only for file data block quotas.
