Hi all, Can the windows clients access to the data under the lustre file system via CIFS? Thank you. Regards, Harutyun -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://lists.lustre.org/pipermail/lustre-discuss/attachments/20080611/ff0818df/attachment.html
Yes, if you export the CFS volume from one of the client nodes using Samba, you?ll be able to access it via CIFS from a Windows client. Performance will be well below customary Lustre performance, though, so don?t expect miracles. :-) cheers, Klaus On 6/11/08 12:50 PM, "h.kalatas at remivac.com" <h.kalatas at remivac.com>did etch on stone tablets:> > Hi all, > > Can the windows clients access to the data under the lustre file system via > CIFS? > > Thank you. > Regards, > Harutyun > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Lustre-discuss mailing list > Lustre-discuss at lists.lustre.org > http://lists.lustre.org/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss-------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

What about pCIFS? This used to be a project to access the MDS and OSS directly from windows. Is it still in development? Where can I download it?

Where can I download it?pCIFS was a windows client that just allowed parallel access to Samba servers running on Lustre clients. It wasn''t really a Windows Lustre client, which we''re finally starting on. If you don''t need extreme performance for a single client, then having a single Samba server should be fine.> > -----Original Message----- > > From: lustre-discuss-bounces at lists.lustre.org [mailto:lustre-discuss- > > bounces at lists.lustre.org] On Behalf Of Andreas Dilger > > Sent: Friday, June 13, 2008 12:51 AM > > To: h.kalatas at remivac.com > > Cc: lustre-discuss at clusterfs.com > > Subject: Re: [Lustre-discuss] CIFS > > > > On Jun 11, 2008 22:50 +0300, h.kalatas at remivac.com wrote: > > > Can the windows clients access to the data under the lustre file > system > > > via CIFS? > > > > Yes, it is possible to export Lustre to windows clients by running a > > Samba server on a Lustre client.Cheers, Andreas -- Andreas Dilger Sr. Staff Engineer, Lustre Group Sun Microsystems of Canada, Inc.
