Might I ask why you have 40 Lustre filesystems? One of the benefits of Lustre is that you can have a single filesystem across many servers (unlike NFS) and the value of the single aggregate filesystem is more than the sum of its parts. The bandwidth available to the clients is higher, the space can be shared more effectively, etc. Cheers, Andreas -- Andreas Dilger Sr. Staff Engineer, Lustre Group Sun Microsystems of Canada, Inc. _______________________________________________ Lustre-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lustre.org/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss
