Starting a Port Mapper Process (fsmpm)

You can use the

fsmpm

command to start a file system port mapper process on a client

or controller.

$ fsmpm

For more information, see the

fsmpm

man page.

Defragmenting a File, Folder, or Volume (snfsdefrag)

You can use the

snfsdefrag

command to defragment a file by reallocating its data in

a single extent. This can improve read and write performance for a file by increasing

disk efficiency and reducing file metadata management overhead.

To defragment a file or folder:

$ snfsdefrag [-D] [-d] [-q] [-s] [-v] [-G group] [-K affinity]

[-k affinity] [-m count] [-r] target

To report file extents without defragmenting:

$ snfsdefrag -e [-G group] [-K affinity] [-r] target [target] [...]

To display an extent count without defragmenting:

$ snfsdefrag -c [-G group] [-K affinity] [-r] target [target] [...]

To prune a file (remove allocated extents beyond the end of file):

$ snfsdefrag -p [-D] [-v] [-q] [-G group] [-K affinity] [-m count]

[-r] target [target] [...]

To list files that are candidates for defragmentation:

$ snfsdefrag -l [-D] [-v] [-G group] [-K affinity] [-m count] [-r]

target [target] [...]
