[Lustre-discuss] about the top500 list

[Peter Jones]

Thanks Jeff.  I have been focusing on Lustre Y\N for my purposes, and am 
down to 6 sites that I am not sure what they run, but it is not Lustre, 
and 8 sites that I do not know for certain but suspect it is Lustre. I 
agree with your numbers on CXFS, PanFS and GPFS. My total presently 
stands at 59/100 sites running Lustre.
