This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Z Software products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

You can use the ZFILE df command to display the number of in-use and available inode counts. The ZFILE df command uses a cached value in processor-unique memory for displays of the inode counts. The cached inode counts are updated when TFS processing code on each processor accesses each #IZERO record. Because the cached inode counts are not updated each time a file is created or deleted, the inode counts from the ZFILE df display should only be used as estimates of the in-use and available inodes. If one processor creates or deletes a large number of files, the changes to the inode counts are not reflected on every processor in the loosely coupled complex. As a result, the ZFILE df command might display significantly skewed inode counts on different processors. This Idea would provide a mechanism for the TFS to synchronize the inode counts across processors so that the ZFILE df display is more consistent.
