To be clear in case I sound too down on it - Lazy SoM is a very nice feature 
that will speed up important use cases.  It’s just not going to jazz up mdtest 
#s.

Lazy SoM is not landed yet, and it won’t be improving benchmark scores - it’s 
never “known 100% correct”, so it can’t be used for actual POSIX ops - if a 
file size read out is used for a write offset, then you’ve got data corruption.

So for now it’s strictly limited to tools that know about it (accessed via an 
ioctl) and can accept information that may be stale.  The intended use case is 
scanning the FS for policy application.

I'm curious about how DOM improves IO500 scores.  :)
Also LSOM but I don't know actually whether that's in 2.11 or where.

Abe,

Any benchmarking would be highly dependent on hardware, both client and server. 
 Is there a particular comparison (say, between versions) you’re interested in 
or something you’re concerned about?

Hi All,


Has anyone done any MDT testing under the latest rel2.11 and have benchmark 
data to share?


Thanks,
Abe
