[Lustre-discuss] Random access is not improving

[sethpn at gmail.com]

Does Lustre increase random access performance?  I would like to know
this becauseI have a large random access file (a hash table).  I have
striped this file across multiple OSTs.  The file is 24 gigabytes, and
the stripe size was 1gig across 10 OSTs.  I also tried a stripe size
of 100megabytes.  Both stripe sizes did not seem to improve random
access performance.  Am I doing something wrong?
