Lustre discuss - Dec 2011 - most recent kernel version for patchless client?

Hi list,

I am looking for information what the most recent kernel version is that I can
use to build a patchless client for. OFED for example refuses to build on
kernels >3.0.0. Has someone recently tried newer kernels with 1.8.7 ?


Regards, Michael

Hi Michael.

There is no 3.x support neither for client(doesn''t matter patchless or
not) nor for the server.
The activity for support adding is tracked in WC ticket
http://jira.whamcloud.com/browse/LU-812 - guess you may sign on it and
receive updates (for Lustre 2.x).
I have no information if there are any plans to add 3.x support to the
1.8.x.  
Btw: the latest kernel version I used for 1.8.7 is 2.6.32.45.

Regards,
    Iurii
