<div dir="auto"><div>Hi Nithya,<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">No..the files are not being accessed. And tiering mode is in cache mode and what I understood is in cache mode every file is moved to hot tier until it reaches low watermark, then it only promotes highly accessed files.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">And do you mean everytime we expand volume, we are virtually flushing the tier and it regenerates only when a files are accessed?</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Also I see one more issue now, I hav generated another 1000 files after tiering is started and I see all 1000 files are now created on hot tier. Now, I detached again..in detach status it shows completed..but when I checked, around 260 files are still located on hot tier..those files are not being used anywhere..ca you tell why are they still not moved to cold tier and why the detach status is showing a wrong status.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I am using gluster 3.12.3 and server hosts include RHEL 6.7 and 7.2 hosts also.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Regards,</div><div dir="auto">Jeevan.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Mon 24 Sep, 2018, 7:00 PM Nithya Balachandran, <<a href="mailto:nbalacha@redhat.com">nbalacha@redhat.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Are those files being accessed?
