Lustre discuss - Oct 2009 - replication in Lustre 2.0

Hi,

I saw that developpers included replication of the data in the version 2.0, Is
these replication only used to make a recovery in a case of hard disk failure or
can the client use it ?

Thx.

Replication means many things to many people, but this is the tool we 
developed for lustre 2.0:
    lreplicate  is  designed  to  replicate  a  Lustre  filesystem  (source
       filesystem) to another target filesystem (any  filesystem  type)  
effi-
       ciently  by using Lustre MDT changelogs. 

The target fs is a normal, usable fs.
