mmdf Command
.SH "Name"

\fBmmdf\fR - Queries available file space on a GPFS file
system.

.SH "Description"
.PP
Use the \fBmmdf\fR command to display available file space on a
GPFS file system. For each disk in the GPFS file system, the
\fBmmdf\fR command displays this information, by failure group and storage
pool:
.RS +3
.HP 3
\(bu The size of the disk.
.HP 3
\(bu The failure group of the disk.
.HP 3
\(bu Whether the disk is used to hold data, metadata, or both.
.HP 3
\(bu Available space in full blocks.
.HP 3
\(bu Available space in fragments.
.RE
.PP
Displayed values are rounded down to a multiple of 1024 bytes. If
the fragment size used by the file system is not a multiple of 1024 bytes,
then the displayed values may be lower than the actual values. This can
result in the display of a total value that exceeds the sum of the rounded
values displayed for individual disks. The individual values are
accurate if the fragment size is a multiple of 1024 bytes.
.PP
For the file system, the \fBmmdf\fR command displays:
.RS +3
.HP 3
\(bu The total number of inodes and the number available.
.RE
.PP
The \fBmmdf\fR command may be run against a mounted or unmounted file
system. 
.RS +3
\fBNote:\fR
.RE
.RS +9
The command is I/O intensive and should be run when the system load is
light.
.RE
.SH "Parameters"
.PP
.RS +3
\fB\fIDevice\fR
\fR
.RE
.RS +9
The device name of the file system to be queried for available file
space. File system names need not be fully-qualified.
\fBfs0\fR is as acceptable as \fB/dev/fs0\fR.
.PP
This must be the first parameter.
.RE
.SH "Options"
.PP

.RE
.PP
.RS +3
\fB-P \fIPoolName\fR
\fR
.RE
.RS +9
Lists only disks that belong to the requested storage pool.
.RE
.PP
.RS +3
\fB-q
\fR
.RE
.RS +9
For quick access to the file space information, list the data collected
from the most recent synchronization period.
.PP
With this flag, the values recorded by the \fBmmdf\fR command are
synchronized only at the last invocation of the \fBsyncd\fR daemon on the
node where the command is issued.
.RE
.PP
The default is to list all disks.

.SH "Security"
.PP
If you are a root user:
.RS +3
.HP 3
1. You may issue the \fBmmdf \fR command from any node in the GPFS
cluster.
.HP 3
2. 
When using the \fBrcp\fR and \fBrsh\fR commands for remote
communication, a properly configured \fB.rhosts\fR file must exist
in the root user's home directory on each node in the GPFS
cluster. If you have designated the use of a different remote
communication program on either the
\fBmmcrcluster\fR
or
\fBmmchcluster\fR command, you must ensure:
.RS +3
.HP 3
a. Proper authorization is granted to all nodes in the GPFS cluster.
.HP 3
b. The nodes in the GPFS cluster can communicate without the use of a
password, and without any extraneous messages.
.RE
.RE
.PP
If you are a non-root user, you may specify only file systems that belong
to the same cluster as the node on which the \fBmmdf \fR command was
issued.
