<p class="MsoNormal">We have 4 more weeks before LUG. On tomorrow’s call, I would like to start creating a priority list of requirements to guide the next development cycle for discussion at our F2F meeting on 4/25 in Austin.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve summarized the current feature discussion into the following requirements:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - improve single client performance <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - improve storage pool management<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> to address : OST rebalancing<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> dynamic layout<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> async mirroring, etc<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - dynamic LNET configuration<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - extend POSIX for Lustre access patterns<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> to address : file sets<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> scalable opens<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - reduce Lustre's dependence on timeouts<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> to address : health networks<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We need to create statements around these requirements for the OpenSFS board.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Are there other features or requirements to discuss? For example, how do we resolve the discussion about the Lustre client?
