If you care about performance at all, a dedicated client is always best. While you can run client/MDS somewhat safely (modulo recovery issues) a busy client will steal resources from the MDS/MGS, so other clients may suffer. Again, this is something that may be okay for a testing situation but should really be avoided for any kind of production system. cliffw > > --- On *Sat, 1/10/09, Arden Wiebe /<[email protected]>/* wrote: > > > From: Arden Wiebe <[email protected]> > Subject: [Lustre-discuss] What do clients run on? > To: [email protected] > Date: Saturday, January 10, 2009, 12:51 PM > > I've read it a zillion times but can't seem to find it again.
