<p class="MsoNormal">I’m Richard and work in the storage team at Imperial College London. We’ve had a GPFS/CTDB/Samba cluster for over a year where research group data can be stored. Other responsibilities include Cisco UCS, the storage, some IBM filers and
other general datacentre related activities.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve been subscribed to this list for over a year but due to sever user error I haven’t seen any emails from it until now… I did think it was a bit quiet!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Looking forward to seeing more real world problems and fixes surrounding GPFS especially as we begin to plan our upgrade from 3.5 to 4.x (whichever is stable and available).<o:p></o:p></p>
