[gpfsug-discuss] 5.0 features?

[Buterbaugh, Kevin L]

Simon in correct … I’d love to be able to support a larger block size for my users who have sane workflows while still not wasting a ton of space for the biomedical folks…. ;-)

A question … will the new, much improved, much faster mmrestripefs that was touted at SC17 require a filesystem that was created with GPFS / Tiger Shark / Spectrum Scale / Multi-media filesystem (<grin>) version 5 or simply one that has been “upgraded” to that format?

Thanks…

Kevin
