ZFS usually has lower metadata performance for MDT than using ldiskfs which is why some people recommend ZFS only for the OSTs. However, ZFS has features (like snapshots) that are useful for the MDT so some folks are willing to accept a performance hit in order to take advantage of those features. -- Rick Mohr Senior HPC System Administrator National Institute for Computational Sciences http://www.nics.tennessee.edu _______________________________________________ lustre-discuss mailing list lustre-discuss@lists.lustre.org http://lists.lustre.org/listinfo.cgi/lustre-discuss-lustre.org
