We are considering using Lustre as our backend file platform. The specific application involves storing a high-volume of sequential data writes, with a moderate amount of reads (mostly sequencial, with some random seeks). Our concern is with reclaiming space. As the file system fills, we need to be able to quickly delete the oldest files.
Does Lustre have an efficient file delete? I'm not expecting specific metrics (though they would be nice if available), just some general info about the Lustre delete process (Does it immediately reclaim the space, or do it 'lazily' in the background? etc, etc.). Thanks. _______________________________________________ Lustre-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lustre.org/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss
