[Pvfs-users] What if ION failed?

[Murali Vilayannur]

Hi Sumit,

If an I/O node failed during operation, there is not much possibility of
recovering data without restarting that same server on the same node.
i.e. there is no online migration or reconstruction of data from lost
servers.

PS: Is there any reason why you prefer to use pvfs version 1 instead of
pvfs version2? PVFS1 isn't being actively developed anymore
thanks,
Murali
