The following are Cray's roadmap priorities:
1) larger LUNs
Needed for Lustre 1.8.x (both RHEL, SLES) as well as 2.x (RHEL-based
only).
2) metadata performance
General improvements needed for Lustre 1.8.x (RHEL, SLES) as well as
Lustre 2.x. Clustered Metadata is an option to improve scalability
for Lustre 2.x.
3) end-to-end data integrity
Improve the reliability and resiliency of the file system by
protecting data from the client to disk. (Lustre 2.x only)
4) online file system check
Scrub metadata in the background, capture errors before seen by the
application, and reduce recovery time when errors are found.
(Lustre 2.x only)
5) interface to HSM
Seemlessly move data from Lustre OSTs to archival storage.
(Lustre 2.x only)
6) channel bonding
Provide redundant, active LNET links between routers and servers to
increase LNET reliability and improve performance between nodes.
(Lustre 2.x only)
