Hello Thomas, Thank you so much. I have been away for a week on my honeymoon. I am going through my emails and catching up. I will look at all of these things.

All the documentation is listed here: https://github.com/cea-hpc/robinhood/wiki/Documentation<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/github.com/cea-hpc/robinhood/wiki/Documentation__;!!H8mHWRdzp34!rd3W5d5-qz_p2HMrEh-h30t1Iq8MgkroZBFC1VVoltHVrZOk1psIAsOmLb6naN4$> The configuration sent by Alex is a good start. Let us know if you have specific issues.

I understand that most deployments are likely with the Lustre file system. However, we would like to try it with a POSIX only spin. I have been looking for documents that cover this type of deployment, but I can't seem to find too much available. One Slide Deck I did see is named "robinhood-Per3S.pdf", dated January 30th, 2017 (1). This document explains a bit about why a POSIX only type of deployment is not efficient. Let's say for arguments sake that we wanted to do a POSIX only Proof of Concept. Where would one find a comprehensive list of the built in's for triggers, file classes, policies, and rules? I have found examples in other documents, but they do not seem to cover any depth. I suppose what we really could use is a document that might guide us to a successful POSIX deployment with depth that shows us how triggers, policies, and rules interact. We understand the limitations of POSIX only, but our HPC deployment of a cluster with storage, is not using the Lustre file system. I did find a program that I had never used before, DOXYGEN, a document generator program, that when run against a variety of un-complied, well annotated, source codes, C, C++, etc., will generate many useable forms of documentation. Would you recommend using DOXYGEN in order for us to get a more in depth understanding of robinhood policy engine, or is there some document or documents that may help us better? I have downloaded and been studying the documentation that I can find. I have gone from V3, back to V2.5 and I have also been looking at the Lustre documentation to see if I can find references to POSIX only deployments and configurations. We have the V3.1.7 robinhood installed and have been attempting to get it configured correctly to test out the triggers and policies and rules and such, but we are not being very successful. Thank you in advance for your patience, time, and assistance with this endeavor. Sincerely Bill Branson William E.
