- As a service provider you need a xontract with Thinkparq to provide BeeGFS to others.
- Thinkparq reserves for themselves the copyright on changes you perform in the source code.
Just somw things to be aware of.
In comparison, GPFS  is totally closed source, but Lustre is GPL (or was it LGPL?).
>> I am considering using BeeGFS for a parallel file system for one (and if successful, more) of our clusters here. Just wanted to get folks' opinions on that, and if there is any "gotchas" or better-fit solutions out there... The first cluster I am considering it for has ~50TB storage off a single ZFS server serving the data over NFS currently; looking to increase not only storage capacity, but also I/O speed. The cluster nodes that are consuming the storage have 10GbaseT interconnects, as does the ZFS server. As we are a smaller shop, want to keep the solution simple. BeeGFS was recommended to me as a good solution off another list, and wanted to get people's opinions off this list.
