[gpfsug-discuss] wanted...gpfs policy that places larger files onto a pool based on size

[Bryan Banister]

Thanks for that suggestion, which is something we already do, but as you say is not as flexible.  I think Jez is correct about the overhead being too high to support directory path for data placement,

So... use a fileset with a linked directory and a fileset placement policy to a pool?  Might be a bit more rigid for what you really want, and it would be messy, but it would work just fine.
