[lustre-discuss] Migrate OSTs to ZFS

[Dilger, Andreas]

The ZIL is not currently used by Lustre OSTs or MDTs since it needs specific support in the filesystem.  It will be used at some point in the future. 

The L2ARC usage is transparent to the filesystem so it works with Lustre today. 

Cheers, Andreas
