[Lustre-discuss] How does lustre deal with different types of media (ssd, sata, tape)
I would like to make a SAN implementing lustre but want to know how it deals with different kinds of storage media such as SSD, SATA disks and Tape(Or possibly cloud storage)? -- Best Regards, James Moyle +84 (0)983 117 302 mail at 3piece.asia

Lustre allows to group block devices into pools. This feature enables Lustre administrator to create policies for file striping, for example based on the storage media types.
