Do you mean limiting usage of the space to some clients and not others, then no. If you mean "can multiple clients use space on the same OST" then the answer is yes. > 2. can a very large file span multiple OSTs? Yes, definitely. You can have single files of nearly 320TB if you have 160 or more OSTs of >= 2TB in size and 64-bit clients (there is a 16TB limit on 32-bit clients). > 3. can a certain partition be accessed by multiple clients? Clients never access a disk partition directly, so this question doesn't make sense. See also #1 above.
