[Lustre-discuss] buffering

[burlen]

Hi,

I am interested in how write()s are buffered in Lustre on the cleint, 
server, and network in between. Specifically I'd like to understand what 
happens during writes when large number of clients are making large 
writes to all of the OSTs on an OSS, and the buffers are inadequate to 
handle the outgoing/incoming data. I know nothing about Lustre's 
buffering, can anyone point me to a source of information ?

Thanks
Burlen
