[lustre-discuss] FIEMAP support for Lustre

[Alexander I Kulyavtsev]

Hi Oleg,
does ZFS based lustre supports FIEMAP?

We have lustre 2.5 with zfs installed. Otherwise we will need to setup separate test system with ldiskfs.

But: please review separate reply, I think this can be addressed through multirail, NRS, file striping.

Best regards, Alex.
