Is there no way to use Lustre on kernel 2.4.32? How can I proceed to create patch for kernel 2.4.32? Any suggestion? Thanks IsMaEl

I suspect it is very non-trivial, but I don''t know how many changes went into 2.4 kernels anymore. If few changes in the core VFS then it might not be impossible.

I suspectIn fact starting with vanilla-2.4.29 serie should be even better. And I do not think there are much changes accepted into 2.4 since that time anyway. Bye, Oleg
