[Lustre-discuss] write RPC & congestion

[Cory Spitz]

Hello,

The Lustre Operations Manual only covers configuration and tuning for XT3
running Catamount.  However, the tuneables you are concerned about relate more
to what kind and how much storage you have and less about XT specific tunings.

Thanks,
-Cory
