[Twg] (Reminder) Meeting Agenda for Feb 23, 2012

[John Carrier]

Here is the link to the requirements document we prepared last year for the OpenSFS board:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mLg4P-GEi_nP7g1APP4K8c1hgh_8mdqf0U2gWjh0aq0/edit?authkey=COuayqYM&authkey=COuayqYM&pli=1

Some of the features we captured are funded works in progress that will land in the Lustre tree later this year or next.  There are still a number of projects from this document that we could pursue.  Here is the list of features we described:

   * Performance Requirements
     - Metadata server performance [FUNDED]
     - Metadata server scalability [FUNDED]
     - Single file performance
     - Quality of service
     - Locality and scalability

   * Foundational Requirements
     - Support for alternate backend file systems [FUNDED]
     - Backend storage investigation
     - Scalable fault management
   * Manageability and Administrative Requirements
     - Better support for newer kernels
     - Improved configuration of Lustre
     - Allowing for controlled partial-system maintenance

     - Arbitrary OST assignment
     - Better userspace tools
     - File system consistency checks [FUNDED]
     - Snapshots
