I'm not aware of anyone trying OpenAFS but we have run with Lustre and there is a README available on how to set it up. Lustre has been used as a root filesystem (as well as just application filesystems) but I don't think the howto for that is available yet. =20 Bruce P.s. we have only done OpenSSI as lustre clients. The lustre server cluster (OSTs and MDFs) is outside the OpenSSI cluster. > -----Original Message----- > From: ssi...@li...=20 > [mailto:ssi...@li...] On=20 > Behalf Of Mike Gehl > Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2004 9:17 AM > To: ssi...@li... > Subject: [SSI-users] cluster file systems - ports, performance and SSI >=20 >=20 > Hi - does anyone have experience with high(er) performance=20 > file systems=20 > and SSI?

Bruce, thanks. Where might I find the readme? It would be useful to have the OSTs be the members of the cluster as well. Does anyone see a logical problem with that?

Mike, Apparently the README on Lustre isn't on the Web site yet. It will be put up there today under SSI Documentation. As for the OSTs inside the SSI cluster, this is not out of the question at all (but not at all tested). Lustre is currently a little weak when you run the client and MDS/OST on the same node (used to panic a lot and now (1.0.4) seems much better). If you are up for giving it a try, let the list know how it goes. bruce > Bruce, thanks.
