Lustre discuss - Jan 2009 - Replication in lustre ?

Hi,

 A query about replication in Lustre.

There were plans of supporting replication in lusture with LAID. Has this
been implemented now ?

Thanks,
 Vikram

No, they are still only plans at this point.  We''ve scaled back from
implementing a generic RAID-5/6/N layer to only implementing RAID-1
replication.

Thanks for your reply Andreas.

Is the RAID-1 replication already present in the current release ? If not,
Is there any timeline for implementing this?


Thanks,
  Vikram
