[Lustre-discuss] programmatic access to parameters

[burlen]

Hi ,

How can one programmatically probe the lustre system an application is 
running on?

At compile time I'd like access to the various lustre system limits , 
for example those listed in ch.32 of operations manual. Incidentally one 
I didn't see listed in that chapter is the maximum number of OST's a 
single file can be striped across.

At run time I'd like to be able to probe the size (number of OSS, OST 
etc...) of the system the application is running on.

I hope not to have to hard code such values.

Thanks
Burlen
