Hi Cliff - it's been a long time...
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It seems to me that file truncation is a bad thing - i.e., file writes are not completed. Is this an invalid assessment?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I have been covertly trying for a long time to find out what punch means as far a lustre llobdstat output but have not really found anything definitive.<br>
<br>
Can someone answer that for me? (BTW: I am not alone in my ignorance... :) )<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
