Scott,
Perhaps there might be a way to collect 'contrib' documents that are not
core to Lustre with OpenSFS. I suggest that you could make a place at
wiki.opensfs.org for them. I think that we can ask the
lwg(a)lists.lustre.org group about it first (copied).
LWG, can we host 'contrib' docs somewhere on the OpenSFS wiki? Perhaps we
should create a whole new "Documentation" sidebar to get started?
Thanks,
-Cory

I should also add - many of those documents just don't belong in
the
lustre manual anyway, such as monitoring JBOD arrays. But nonetheless
may be useful for some lustre installations.
