Finding Collisions with CIFS ‘8.3’ Names

Identifying All ‘8.3’ Collisions
If CIFS clients complain about access issues or slow performance, you should
identify the 8.3 collisions in the volume and work toward changing their names. This
is especially true for directory names, which may affect performance for files and
directories under them. Run an nsck-inconsistencies report (recall
“Finding Metadata
Inconsistencies” on page 5-12
) to reveal all 8.3 collisions. Each file with this issue is
flagged with “F8,” and each directory is flagged with “D8.”
For example, this command sequence generates and shows an inconsistencies report
for the “medarcv” namespace, which reveals one file collision and one directory
collision (highlighted in bold text):
bstnA6k#
nsck medarcv report inconsistencies /rcrds outputfile rcrdsIssues
Scheduling report: rcrdsIssues.rpt on switch bstnA6k
bstnA6k#
show reports rcrdsIssues.rpt
