NAME
mfssclass -
MooseFS storage classes management tools
SYNOPSIS
mfsgetsclass [
-r] [
-n|
-h|
-H|
-k|
-m|
-g]
OBJECT...
mfssetsclass [-r] [-n|-h|-H|-k|-m|-g] SCLASS_NAME OBJECT...
mfscopysclass [-r] [-n|-h|-H|-k|-m|-g] SOURCE_OBJECT OBJECT...
mfsxchgsclass [-r] [-n|-h|-H|-k|-m|-g] SRC_SCLASS_NAME DST_SCLASS_NAME OBJECT...
mfslistsclass [-l] [MOUNT_POINT]
DESCRIPTION
These tools operate on object's
storage class name. This is an extended version of classic goal.
There are predefined storage classes provided as equivalents of goals 1 to 9 (names are simply "1","2",...,"9"). Other classes
can be
created/
modified/
deleted etc. by administrator using
mfsscadmin tool.
mfsgetsclass prints current storage class of given object(s).
-r option enables recursive mode, for files there is no difference,
for directories it shows the number of objects in each storage class
containded in the whole subtree of this directory.
mfssetsclass changes current storage class of given object(s).
-r option enables recursive mode.
mfscopysclass copies storage class from one object to given object(s).
mfsxchgsclass sets storage class to DST_SCLASS_NAME of given objects(s) but only
when current storage class is set to SRC_SCLASS_NAME.
mfslistsclass lists currently defined storage classes.
-l option enables long format - whole class definition is printed for each class, not only its name. For
description of storage class definition refer to mfsscadmin manpage.
GENERAL OPTIONS
Most of
mfstools use
-n,
-h,
-H,
-k,
-m and
-g
options to select
format of printed numbers.
-n causes to print exact numbers,
-h
uses binary prefixes (Ki, Mi, Gi as 2^10, 2^20 etc.) while
-H uses SI
prefixes (k, M, G as 10^3, 10^6 etc.).
-k,
-m and
-g show plain numbers
respectivaly in kibis (binary kilo - 1024), mebis (binary mega - 1024^2)
and gibis (binary giga - 1024^3).
The same can be achieved by setting
MFSHRFORMAT environment variable to:
0 (exact numbers),
1
or
h (binary prefixes),
2 or
H (SI prefixes),
3 or
h+ (exact numbers and binary prefixes),
4 or
H+ (exact
numbers and SI prefixes). The default is to print just exact numbers.
INHERITANCE
When new object is created in MooseFS, attributes such as storage class, trashtime and extra
attributes are inherited from parent directory. So if you set i.e. "noowner"
attribute and storage class to "important" in a directory then every new object created in
this directory will have storage class set to "important" and "noowner" flag set. A newly created
object inherits always the current set of its parent's attributes. Changing a
directory attribute does not affect its already created children. To change
an attribute for a directory and all of its children use
-r option.
