[PVFS2-users] I/O level

[Rob Ross]

Hi Thomas,

PVFS2 provides user access, as you guessed, at the file level.  This is 
actually identical to the approach used in file systems like Lustre, 
which thinks of the data stored on servers as "objects" but only 
provides a UNIX file interface to the data.

Regards,

Rob
