Hi Emilie,

Indeed, robinhood is not notified by Lustre in case of access, only for changes (actually it could, but it is not recommended on a production system, as it would represent a huge flow of events).
This explains atime is outdated in rbh DB, unlike change time.

acces times in DB can be updated by scanning regularly your filesystem.
They are also refreshed when applying policy on entries.

You can see this outdated atime in rbh-find output, but don't worry, atime is correctly handled when applying a policy (like rmdir):
robinhood refreshes its atime when it applies a policy to an entry
to ensure it perfectly respects the policy criteria on access times.

Regards,
Thomas

Hello to all,

I wanted to use rm policy and rbh-find based on last access criteria and it appears that the access time is outdated on my test. I use robinhood 2.5.0-0.beta1 version and Lustre 2.1 version. I run the Lustre find command with an 30 days access time argument and the same for rbh-find: i have not the same results, it seems that for robinhood "access time" it's the same than "change time".

For example this file :
 File: « /scratch//xxxxx/xxxxx/myfile-2765732 »
  Size: 190852        Blocks: 376        IO Block: 2097152 fichier
Device: a2f3dcdch/2733890780d    Inode: 144871533880362197 Links: 1
Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--)  Uid: ( 1045/ xxxx)   Gid: (  300/ xxxxxx)
*Access: 2014-02-13* 14:26:42.000000000 +0100
Modify: 2014-01-28 12:58:22.000000000 +0100
*Change: 2014-02-05 *13:07:11.000000000 +0100
 Birth: -

With the Lustre find command and the stat command, last access is 13/02/2014 but for Robinhood last acess with rbh-find command and the database informations is 05/02/2014.

I saw on the documentation of the last version that the access time could be outdated. But have you a way to fix it or a workaround to suggest?

I have an another question: is anyone using robinhood with GPFS for rm policy or quota alert? I might have to implement robinhood with GPFS, so if someone have tips I'm interested.

Thanks by advance for your answer,

Emilie
