[Lustre-discuss] SuSE kernels and security updates
I am currently using the clusterfs pre-patched SuSE source, but am concerned about security. The version available here: http://clusterfs-pub.com/customer/public-releases/production/latest/sles10-x86_64/ is 2.6.16-27, which does not match up with the latest version available for SLES, which is 2.6.18.8-0.3. Unfortunately, the quilt patch series provided with 1.6.0.1 for sles10 (2.6-sles10.series) does not apply cleanly for this kernel. Most patch hunks succeed at an offset, but some fail. Are there updated patches for the latest SLES kernel? Where can I find them? Thanks! -Brian -- Brian Elliott Finley Linux Strategist, CIS Desk: 630.252.4742 Cell: 630.631.6621

We will support this version in our upcoming 1.6.1 release (as well as 1.4.12 for those still using 1.4.x.)> Unfortunately, the quilt patch series provided with 1.6.0.1 for sles10 > (2.6-sles10.series) does not apply cleanly for this kernel.

This may be closer to the kernel you are trying to patch. Also, various patches that have been posted here may also be a better starting point but note that they are unsupported by CFS.
