Hello,
What is the recommended value for the no_i2p option for volumes containing LUNs?
The only description I found was this ...
If this option is on, it disables inode to parent pathname translations on the volume. The default setting is off.
What are the consequences if I set this option to "on"?

Greetings,
A while back I ran a bunch of upgrades from 7.0 -- which 7.1 I believe was the first release with i2p. Initially it consumed a large amount of system resources to complete the initial i2p wafl scan. With some of the nodes, this was not bearable, so it was disabled. I have since enabled many of them, and did not notice any significant improvement after the scan completed.
I have left the option set to on for periods of a month or so without any repurcussions. Ofcourse I was only running NFS (no iSCSI or FC LUNS).
I read the following TR for more information:

Supposedly i2p helps with the following (from the tr):
