gfrep - replicate Gfarm files
gfrep [-mnqvx] [-S source-domainname]
[-D destination-domainname] [-h source-hostfile]
[-H destination-hostfile] [-N num-of-replicas]
[-j num-of-threads] path...
gfrep creates specified number of replicas of Gfarm files
specified by the path to specified set of destination hosts. When set
of source hosts are specified, only files stored on the set of source hosts
are replicated. A set of hosts can be specified by a domain name and/or a
host file. When both a domain name and a host file are specified, a set of
hosts is determined by both conditions.
If the path parameter is a directory, files under the
directory will be copied recursively.
-S source-domainname
Specifies the domain name of source filesystem nodes from
which replicas will be copied.
-D destination-domainname
Specifies the domain name of destination filesystem nodes
to which replicas will be copied.
If neither this nor the -H option is specified, replicas
may be copied to any available host.
-h source-hostfile
Specifies a file which describes hostnames of source
filesystem nodes from which the replica will be made. The
source-hostfile consists of a filesystem node name on each line.
if ``-'' is specified, standard input is used to read the host
list.
-H destination-hostfile
Specifies a file which describes hostnames of destination
filesystem nodes on which the replica will be made. The
destination-hostfile consists of a filesystem node name on each line.
if ``-'' is specified, standard input is used to read the host
list.
-N num-of-replicas
Specifies the required number of file replicas, counting
already existing ones. If there are a sufficient number of replicas in the
destination hosts, neither any copying nor any removal will be done.
If this option is not specified, -N 1 is assumed.
-j num-of-threads
Specifies the number of threads to create file replicas
simultaneously. This option is only available when compiled by an OpenMP C
compiler. By default, it will be the smallest among the number of total files,
the number of source hosts, and the number of destination hosts.
-m
Lets gfrep command do a migrate/move, instead of doing
replication.
-x
Removes file replicas when a set of destination nodes has
more file replicas than specified.
-n
Displays files to be replicated, but does nothing.
-q
Suppresses non-error messages.
-v
Displays verbose output.
-?
Displays a list of command options.
A source host is not always selected within a set of source
hosts.
