Yes, that's fair. The actual requirement is that it needs to show up as a block device on the host (OSS.) Beyond that, we don't care how it got there as long as only one OSS is serving it at any given time. This is usually controlled by your failover software (heartbeat/etc.) Cheers, Jody _______________________________________________ Lustre-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.clusterfs.com/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss
