Re: [lustre-discuss] Lustre [2.8.0] and the Linux Automounter
We use them fairly extensively with 2.7 and 2.8 and find them useful and stable. For cluster nodes, perhaps not a big deal, but for our many non-cluster clients it is useful. We have multiple filesystems so sometimes many mounts. The main benefit I think is not that sometimes they unmount, but if there are ever issues and some filesystems temprorarily not available – much, much less pain.

Re: [lustre-discuss] Lustre [2.8.0] and the Linux Automounter
We are considering using Lustre [2.8.0] with the Linux automounter. Is anyone using this combination successfully? Are there any caveats? fwiw, we use static Lustre mounts and then autofs doing bind mounts if we want to make the exposed namespace tidier. Lustre client mounts are inherently heavier-weight than simple local (or NFS) mounts; I'd definitely try to avoid doing them frequently. Admittedly, we haven't tried Lustre automounts for years, but IMO automounts only make sense when the FS is infrequently used. For us, it would be very strange if Lustre weren't in use - an idle node, basically.) regards, Mark Hahn | SHARCnet Sysadmin | h...@sharcnet.ca | http://www.sharcnet.ca | McMaster RHPCS| h...@mcmaster.ca | 905 525 9140 x24687 | Compute/Calcul Canada| http://www.computecanada.ca ___ lustre-discuss mailing list lustre-discuss@lists.lustre.org http://lists.lustre.org/listinfo.cgi/lustre-discuss-lustre.org
