Hi Andreas,
thanks for that. I'll follow with interest - though we only got our
first Optane system to test rather recently.
Cheers,
Dave

The most likely candidate for effectively using Optane/NVRAM would be
via Persistent Client Cache (PCC), which allows client-local storage to
be part of the Lustre namespace. Files can be cached on a local NVRAM
device (managed by a local filesystem like ext4, or possibly something
more
I haven't been to LUG or LAD recently, so I'm a bit out of the loop, but
how much use is Optane finding in the Lustre world?
The main obstacle I see is that it's server-local, so building a
resilient/failover-capable system isn't straightforward.
Thanks for any observations.
Cheers,
Dave
