You could place it on the same partition/volume as the MDT but I believe you get less noise in dmesg during start/stop if you have the MGT and MDT seperate as this allows you to start the MDT after your OSSs. I'm using an LVM volume for my MGS (and MDT - wanted to try the fast scanner for backup which requires snapshoting). My MGS size is 64MB - about 10% is used in a two oss + 3 clients setup. I'm also interested in knowing about how much space the MGT uses for a many-node system. /Jakob _______________________________________________ Lustre-discuss mailing list Lustre-discuss@lists.lustre.org http://lists.lustre.org/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss
