That should help with GPFS perfromance with lots of small files. Rich,

We should be able to throw something out. See if we can't pass on some numbers at least. It won't be until the end of the week before I get the system put together and some rough runs in. I'll post something then and drop you an email Jeff. Rich I’ll see what I can do. We should be able to throw something out. See if we can’t pass on some numbers at least.

I'm putting two fusion-io cards into a Dell R900 on Monday to start some testing. Should be interesting to see how they perform. We're having Iops problems with gpfs. Lot's of small files, which is not the best for gpfs. This will test any performance gains or losses by doing metadata via the fusion-io device and data on an EMC. Then compare that to data on a DDN 9900 with metadata on the EMC. Then compare that to the metadata-data mix currently pounding the DDN 9550. We'll see what the marketing specs are vs our real world testing. (-: Rich Hickey We’ll see. I’m putting two fusion-io cards into a Dell R900 on Monday to start some testing.
