Hmmm. I tried to download lustre 1.8.0 two days ago (shortly after the announcement). I tried to use my existing "Sun" account info that I established when we downloaded 1.6.x. The download site accepted my user name and password but denied me access saying that my account required "manual review". A day later, yesterday, they sent me an email saying they needed my "Full Legal" name and that the initial "A" was not sufficient or some other nonsense. So it is now two days later and I still can''t download what is *supposed* to be freely available open-source software. For the record, I don''t mind registering for the download. I *do* mind the security screening. I''m not opening a bank account here. I just want to download some bits with an account I used in the past. Fortunately, I could just "fake" another account and get the software. My question is simply, "Why do you want to hassle your faithful this way"? We are not long-time lustre users (about 1.5 years now) but we have touted the benefits of lustre to anyone and everyone who would listen and have contributed to the adoption of lustre at several other sites. I''ll just add that the multi-tiered download site is also an unnecessary hassle and puts off your users. Stop the insanity, Charlie Taylor UF HPC Center
