Lustre best practices
- Lustre is best suited to large/huge files
- Avoid create many small files
- Avoid perform operations that imply access to many small files
- Avoid having a large number of files in a single directory
- Do not perform operations such as find over large directory trees
- Perform regular backups of your data to a safe location (INCD does not perform data backups)
- Instead of allowing all processes to do the I/O, choose just a few processes to do the work.
- Avoid performing many repetitive open/close operations
