[Lustre-discuss] NFS vs Lustre

[Mag Gam]

Lustre is a parallel filesystem where NFS is not.

The advantage of NFS is its native for many Unix systems and is widely
available. The advantage of Lustre is its performance.

GPFS is a parallel fileysystem very similar to Lustre but its backed
by IBM. It runs on AIX and Linux. Its good but costly.

CXFS and GFS work similar. You need shared blockdev device such as a
SAN or NetAPP (iscsi). Not really for performance. This is mostly for
high availability.

What are you trying to solve? We maybe able to help .
