DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT: The Lustre parallel filesystem is widely used on large systems in HPC. In order to continue scaling up Lustre filesystem at a price that is not prohibitive\, we believe it is vital to replace the underlying ext3/4-based backend filesystem with ZFS.  ZFS takes a fundamentally different approach to disks than previous Linux  filesystems.  It assumes that cheap commodity disks are unreliable\,  which is a given at the scales used in HPC.  It takes measures to detect  and recover from silent errors and corruption.  Additionally\, at HPC scales with  Lustre\, even large regular IO from applications looks like random IO to  disks\, making disk IOPs rates the limiting factor in filesystem performance.  Thus another beneficial feature of ZFS is its ability to sequentialize  random IO streams\, reducing the number of IOPS that drives must handle.  We will discuss the current state of the ZFS port to Linux\, what work remains to be done\, and other general issues of running ZFS on Linux with large drive counts.  While our main goal of supporting Lustre only requires ZFS up through the DMU layer\, we welcome those interested in porting the ZPL (POSIX layer) and those interested in including a FUSE based version of ZFS in the same code base.  We are eager to form a community of users and developers of ZFS on Linux.
