I can see that pvfs2 is useful for a great many things. We are going to start testing it soon.
I would like to know if anyone on this list has some basic metrics or feelings about the following: 1. Performance with many small files (50,000 files that are about 10k each)? find, ls, things like that. How does it perform? 2. Can pvfs2 grow? I see you can add new servers to the pool (though with some downtime/difficulty). Will a more scalable solution be worked-on? 3. What's the largest (in terms of nodes and TB) known pvfs2 installation? Thanks for any knowledge anyone has about this subject!
