Kurt My recommendation would be to use 2.10.5 (or even 2.12 which may well be out before you actually execute on your plan) rather than 2.11. 2.10.5 came out relatively recently and shipped with ZFS 0.7.9 by default whereas 2.11 shipped with the latest at the time of its release (ZFS 0.7.6). While 2.11 may still work with ZFS 0.7.9 I expect that there would be other ways that you would find that it is lagging behind more current releases that have been kept up to date with bugfixes and supporting newer distros etc.

We are going to be moving from 2.5 to either 2.10 or 2.11, possibly by standing up a new lustre file system alongside the existing one and migrating the data over. I'm wondering if anyone has had specific experiences (either positive or negative) with either of these versions. I was also looking for, but couldn't seem to find, a mapping of zfs versions to lustre versions. Am I correct in my assumption that zfs 0.7.9 will work with either version? Finally, does anyone have experience with zfs as the backing for the MDS/MDT? w/r, Kurt J.
