[cdwg] Lustre 2.5 Development Planning

[Frederik Ferner]

We'd like to see better performance for single client single process 
writes to single files, though I can see this might be more a longer 
term goal. I'm not sure there even is a ticket for this that I could 
reference, LU-744 comes close but I'm not sure it fully covers it.

In our case it is tomography detectors writing single large files from 
on machine that will later be processed on clusters and writing we are 
no where near to saturating either the disks or the network links. It 
seems copying the data from userspace to kernel space on the client 
might be the bottleneck.

Cheers,
Frederik
