Lustre Dstat plugin
March 6th, 2008
At The Center for Advanced Computing at my day job. I tested out Lustre a cluster filesystem now owned by Sun. While I have been very impressed with Lustre we have had a huge amount of trouble with servers and clients evicting each other.
This did not keep me from making a plugin for my favorite system tool, Dstat.
This plugin works only on clients and has not been tested with multiple lustre mounts patches please!
Download the plugin here: Download
Place in dstat-0.6.6/plugins/
dstat -M lustre
dstat_lustre.py
Patch to support multiple mounts and clean up provided by Kilian at Stanford.edu
