You won't. Lustre's shining point is not that it's faster than NFS given a single server and single disk, but rather that it scales incredibly well. Try adding more disks and (when you max out the bandwidth of that single machine's disk or network -- whichever comes first) add a second (and third and fourth, etc.) OSS. Then try some benchmarks. When you have maxed out the network bandwidth between your client and the Lustre servers, add a second and third, etc. clients and try a collective benchmark across all of the clients. This is where Lustre shines. b. _______________________________________________ Lustre-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.clusterfs.com/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss
