Hi, We have here around 2PB GPFS (4.2.2) accessed through an HPC cluster with GPFS client on each node. We will have to open GPFS to all our users over CIFS and kerberized NFS with ACL support for both protocol for around +1000 users All users have different use case and needs: - some will do

Hi, We have here around 2PB GPFS where users access oney through GPFS client (used by an HPC cluster), but we will have to setup protocols nodes. We will have to share GPFS data to ~ 1000 users, where each users will have different access usage, meaning: - some will do large I/O (e.g:
