[Lustre-discuss] What do you think of this idea?

[hungsheng Tsao]

as playground is  fine.
even in this type of env , IMHO, u will need to do some raid for 3x2tb 
ost and mirror  for mds
Hope that U have enough memory and cpu power and network  for MDS and OST.
these are dedicate for lustre, u need other compute nodes.
regards
