Using *any* filesystem as a database-of-record is usually an exceptionally bad and irrecoverable idea. Using a network filesystem with split metadata/data servers as such is beneath comment. Perhaps it may be too late for the case above, but perhaps not. Consider the difference here: http://WWW.sabi.co.UK/blog/0802feb.html#080216 Most performance problems resulting from the usage patterns like the above can only be fixed by serious amounts of cash or as-yet undiscovered research advances. _______________________________________________ Lustre-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lustre.org/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss
