size=2>We build a Lustre appliance that comes fully configured and
tuned. A number of customers have asked us about small file performance. We
are looking for feedback on how people "quantify" this type of performance with
their Lustre based systems. In most cases we are looking at applications that
are reading and writing files in the 1K to 20M size range. </FONT></SPAN><SPAN
