Propagating I/O Optimization Settings to subfolders

Question

Hi all, When changing I/O optimization settings there's the 'Apply data access pattern settings to contents' checkbox. This will push the change down to all the sub folders and files. However, this is not instantaneous: a job needs to run before the change is actually applied. Which job is this again? Multiscan? Flexprotect? Smartpools?

It's the SmartPools job, which runs in parallel on all nodes.

If you want the changes to affect only a relatively small subtree,

you can run this in the CLI on one node:

isi filepool apply -r /ifs/path/of/subtree
