<div dir="ltr">Hi.<br><br>Can someone explain in layman terms what is the meaning under the term " shared block storage"? As far as I understand it's a shared storage device (SAN, plain hard-disk, etc...), which provides write/read access to multiple servers/clients, and coordinates all the access operations (i.e. locking files, keeping files shadow copies, i.e.).<br>
<br>Also, can someone explain where actually the shared block storage appears in Lustre? From what I read, the data is stored on separate storage nodes, and not on shared disk.<br><br>Thanks.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Mellon University. Later the developers moved on to Lustre. At least<br>
according to Wikipedia.<br>
