Hi Rob Your email says you'll keep PVFS2. However, on your blog PVFS2 is not mentioned (on the "Keep" list). I suppose it will be kept, right? Thank you, Gus Correa On 01/05/2016 12:31 PM, Rob Latham wrote:

I'm itching to discard some of the little-used file system drivers in ROMIO, an MPI-IO implementation used by, well, everyone.

I've got more details in this ROMIO blog post: http://press3.mcs.anl.gov/romio/2016/01/05/cleaning-out-old-romio-file-syste...

Right now the plan is to keep these drivers:

- Lustre - GPFS - UFS - PVFS2 - PANFS - NFS - TESTFS - XFS

Do you use any of the other ROMIO file system drivers? If you don't know if you do, or don't know what a ROMIO file system driver is, then it's unlikely you are using one.

What if you use a driver and it's not on the list? First off, let me know and I will probably want to visit your site and take a picture of your system. Then, let me know how much longer you foresee using the driver and we'll create a "deprecated" list for N more years.

Thanks ==rob
