Hello, I've seen several notes mentioning the disadvantages of using disk partitions on the storage devices for Lustre OSTs (and/or MDTs). My questions, if anyone can help me, are;
1) Should I delete any existing partitions on the device? 2) If not, should I partition the device into a single partition with a specific block size (maybe 1mb)? 3) Can I just use the disk block device (eg, /dev/sda) when I mkfs.lustre and is it smart enough to ignore the partition table? I'm trying to set up Lustre 1.6.3 and am seeing poor performance, possibly fragmentation on the mdt and ost. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Jim Albin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Lustre-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lustre.org/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss
