<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> It was evening when I got your message, so keep in mind it is a global list. I’m based in Australia and joined the list yesterday after attending the SC15 User Group meeting. Your message is the

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We (organisation details in my signature below) have a GPFS scratch filesystem for our HPC clusters that has been running for a year and is only now being eased into production. It’s running 4.1.0.6. We also
have a 4.1.1.2 POC system running on a VM with an LTSF backend. There are plans to use GPFS to provide a highly available NFS service as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">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></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">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></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">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></span></p>
