I just sat in on a presentation where both streaming and meta-data were
discussed. Meta-data is the silver bullet in a Luster environment. The
conversation turned to setting up NFS for home/user, with the nearly all
other data on SFS with enough OSS and MDS servers to provide both the
throughput and failover needed.
I think this is how I would design most systems, whether Lustre is
the high-performance filesystem or not.

Lustre supports redundant meta-data servers (MDS) and failover for the

Great at streaming data, not at meta-data.
Which is really the bane of all cluster file systems, isn't it? Meta
data accesses kill performance.
