OneFS does not automatically select LIN-based jobs if those jobs are more efficient to run

Resumen: OneFS does not automatically select LIN-based jobs if these would be more efficient to run where SSD is set to metadata rather than L3 cache.

Síntomas

SSDs on a cluster are configured to be used for Metadata rather than L3 cache.

In theory, this means that jobs such as FlexProtect and AutoBalance would run faster and more efficiently if their LIN-equivalents were selected (FlexProtectLIN and AutotBalanceLIN). This is because the metadata on the SSDs can be leveraged by the job engine. 

The regular versions of the job automatically trigger when required by OneFS instead of the LIN version.

The White Paper on the OneFS job engine states: 
"There is also an AutoBalanceLin job available, which is *automatically* run in place of AutoBalance when the cluster has a metadata copy available on SSD. AutoBalanceLin provides an expedited job runtime."

With PSCALE-104758, the automatically part is not true.
Instead it is a manual configuration using.
# isi_gconfig -t job-config jobs.common.lin_based_jobs=True

Causa

This is due to a OneFS code issue.

Resolución

Manually set the "run LIN-based jobs" to true in cluster settings.
# isi_gconfig -t job-config jobs.common.lin_based_jobs=True
Consider disabling non-LIN based jobs.
