Practical GPFS: day 2
May. 6th, 2009 06:14 pmAn unfortunate problem with IO subsystem on the lab cluster coupled with the absence of the sysadmin — apparently in transit to us from Montpellier — forced us to abandon much of today's course. Instead, the instructor, P and I hung around in the classroom batting about ideas while the rest of the gang went back to the office to get on with something more productive. My excuse for not doing the same? I'd earmarked this week for design and planning rather than coding, so nothing was lost by my sitting around and waiting for the lab cluster to come back.
