[Pvfs2-developers] some testing questions

[David Brown]

First I'd like to thank robl for helping me out on irc to get pvfs2
working on my local system.

I have some questions about performance and high performance large
scale tests done using pvfs2. Specifically, has there been any?

The only testing that I've seen on the web are the ones mentioned on the faq.

Has there been any sort of tests involving >128 server nodes?
Are there any sort of maximums that would cause problems when the
number of servers and clients gets >1024?

Also I have some other more administrative questions.
Can you run both the client and the server as non-root users?
