Metadata Slowness when list files in Spectrum Scale snapshot of an independent fileset with many dependent filesets. (fileset scaling)

Please refer to IBM Support Case ID: TS002244951

Listing of files in a Snapshot with 961 filesets takes about 3 min for the first time. The subseqent runs of ls -ltr command run much faster.

In this case /ace/home is independent fileset with 961 dependent filesets for each user.

    Theoverall snapshot processing seems to be in need for a speedup in processing. Since this is a scale out system also functionalty need to scale with the capacity.
    Since this is not the only issue with snapshot processing, I suggest to rethink snapshot implementation in gpfs.

    By the way: I believe this ls -ltr command does not run mutch faster, if the metadata has not been cached before for the original directories.
