The Lustre Storage Architecture

This lengthy document often referred to as the "Lustre Book", contains a detailed outline of Lustre file system architecture, as it was created between 2001 and 2005, in accordance with the requirements from various users. Now, in 2019, most features have been implemented, but some only recently, and some along different lines of thought.
