<br>
As people said each HSM has its own copytool with its own constraints. To work properly with S3, additional metadata is stored in Lustre when files are imported from a S3 bucket.<br>
Questions specific to Amazon FSx For Lustre would be better asked to AWS support. <br>

Hi Kris,<br>
I assume you are using Amazon's FSx for Lustre product <br>
(<a href="https://aws.amazon.com/fsx/lustre/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://aws.amazon.com/fsx/lustre/</a>) for this, rather than rolling <br>
Lustre HSM to S3 on AWS yourself?<br>
<br>
I'm afraid I don't know any more than you do on this product but it's <br>
something I've been keen to play with as it sounds really interesting.<br>
<br>
However the process or policy-engine by which Amazon are mapping S3 <br>
objects to files in Lustre is not part of Lustre itself so you'd need <br>
input from Amazon on this - maybe Aurelien (in BCC) can comment here?<br>
<br>
From their overview documenation my understanding is that the Lustre FS <br>
is meant to be short lived in this model, so you create it populated <br>
with the contents of the bucket *at that time*, run your workload, then <br>
archive results back and delete the FS.<br>
<br>
So if your bucket has been updated post Lustre FS creation, you may have <br>
to destroy the Lustre FS and recreate it to notice the changes. HSM <br>
isn't designed to be a mechanism for synchronising two endpoints that <br>
change independent of the other, so any change to the backend not via <br>
the filesystem will not be tracked.<br>
<br>
This is just me guessing without having used it however, I'll be <br>
interested to hear if you learn more about this from Amazon.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
<br>
Matt<br>
