Dear Lustre Administrators,
Starting with the next minor release of Lustre, version 1.4.9, we are
removing the backwards-compatible /proc/sys/portals symlink due to a
conflict with Cray portals /proc debug on XT3.
Before upgrading to 1.4.9, please ensure that you change any
configuration scripts or /etc/sysctl.conf files that access
/proc/sys/portals/* or sysctl portals.* to use the corresponding entry
in /proc/sys/lnet or sysctl lnet.*.
This change can be made in advance of the upgrade on any system running
Lustre 1.4.6 or newer, since /proc/sys/lnet was added in that version.
Thank you for your attention to this change.
