Hi Nikhil,
If you are running PVFS and a server goes down, you lose *access* to
the metadata and data on that file server. Sometimes there are pieces
of the file system that are still available, depending on what server
died and what metadata it controlled.
Assuming the disks are ok, restarting the server will return
availability.
The cluster as a whole should not be otherwise impacted by a server
failure.

Hi,
If I have configured 4 I/O servers and if 1 of them goes down, then
will I lose all my data?
will the cluster fail?
Thanks,
