Merging GFS2Merging GFS2Posted Sep 8, 2005 7:10 UTC (Thu) by jwb (guest, #15467)Parent article: Merging GFS2
As the only Lustre user in the universe[1], I certainly wish I sometimes saw Lustre come up in these discussions. Unlike OCFS2, GFS2, and StorNext, Lustre *really* *is* *different*. It's not shared storage! It's distributed storage! This is very different!
[1] This is untrue. Lustre is actually used by a secret cabal of systems admins in governments and shady agencies worldwide who are in control of 92% of the planet's supercomputing power. I'm just the only Lustre user in LWN :)

Merging GFS2 Posted Sep 15, 2005 10:39 UTC (Thu) by pjdc (subscriber, #6906) [Link] Given that their business model is based on selling access to the current version in the guise of a support contract, I can't see why they'd bother.
They did try to get some of their VFS changes merged a while back - I seem to recall that some stuff that other in-tree filesystems were able to use was accepted (intents?), but nothing Lustre-specific.
