Hi Loïc,
thanks for the pointer. Its kind of the opposite extreme to dropping just everything. I need to know the file name that is in cache. I'm looking for a middle way, say, "drop_caches -u USER" that drops all caches of files owned by user USER. This way I could try dropping caches for a bunch of users who are *not* running a job.
Hello,
You can use something like the following to get the list of filenames
opened by $USER in $USERDIR (CephFS mountpoint):
lsof -au $USER $USERDIR | awk '/REG/{print $NF}' | sort -u
Some level of "drop_caches -u $USER" can then be achieved with piping
the above commands to "xargs -r $SOMEWHERE/drop-from-pagecache".
No need to be "root" if run as $USER.
