[Lustre-discuss] Information regarding the FILE HANDLE

2011-05-26 Thread vilobh meshram
Hi, I was wondering in which part/structure of the code the file handle information is present in Lustre. Can somebody please point me to it ? I tried looking up in the code but couldn't exactly make it out. Is File handle part of EA i.e. the extended attributes ? Thanks, Vilobh

Ok I ran the following tests: [1] Application spawns 8 threads. I write to Lustre having 8 OSTs. Each thread writes data in blocks of 1 Mbyte in a round robin fashion, i.e. T0 writes to offsets 0, 8MB, 16MB, etc. T1 writes to offsets 1MB, 9MB, 17MB, etc. The stripe size being 1MByte, every

Hi Oleg, Thanks for the reply. What is equivalent of the NFS File handle in Lustre ? Can you give me example of few of the multiple things that could be called as a File handle. Thanks, Vilobh On Thu, May 26, 2011 at 4:30 PM, Oleg Drokin gr...@whamcloud.com wrote: Hello! On May 26, 2011,
