Hi David,
We have discussed with the group at PNNL the idea of integrating some of
their active storage work into PVFS in the future, but that work hasn't
started quite yet.
The idea of using FUSE as a way to hook into the I/O path is pretty
interesting and might be a good way to prototype.
pvfs2-viewdist can be used to look at how files are distributed. Data
for files is stored in a single UNIX file on each server in a
subdirectory under the storage space directory. Generally you can choose
how many servers a file is spread across and what strip size is used
through configuration parameters and extended attributes.
Good! I'm glad someone from pnnl has gotten a hold of you guys. Any
clue on when working with the pvfs devs is going to start?
