Hi Stuart, We have a very similar setup. I use /gpfs01, /gpfs02 etc. and then use filesets within those, and symbolic links on the gpfs cluster members to give the same user experience combined with automounter maps (we have a large number of NFS clients as well as cluster members). This all works quite well.

We have something like: /home /scratch /projects /reference /applications We are finding the overhead of separate filesystems to be troublesome and are looking at using filesets inside fewer filesystems to accomplish our goals (we will probably keep /home separate for now). We can put symbolic links in place to provide the same user experience, but I'm looking for suggestions as to where to mount the actual gpfs filesystems. We have multiple compute clusters with multiple gpfs systems, one cluster has a traditional gpfs system and a separate gss system which will obviously need multiple mount points. We also want to consider possible future cross cluster mounts. Some thoughts are to just do filesystems as: /gpfs01, /gpfs02, etc. /mnt/gpfs01, etc /mnt/clustera/gpfs01, etc. What have other people done? Are you happy with it? What would you do differently?
