[Lustre-discuss] ioDrive from Fusion-IO as an MDT?

[Craig Prescott]

Hi all;

Has anyone ever tried using a Fusion-IO ioDrive as
a Lustre MDT?

If so, I'd love to hear your experiences, particularly
if you've used one in a production filesystem.  We're using
a mirrored pair of SATA disks at present for our MDTs,
and interactive response can get pretty crummy when
our users perform metadata-heavy workloads.  It seems
this product could help us out in that area.

Thanks,
