I accidentally deleted the 2.6.18 RHEL5 line, thinking it was the 2.6.18-vanilla line. Don''t worry, RHEL5 is still in the supported list. The reason we''ve removed 2.6.18.8 vanilla kernel from the "Supported" list is because we are not doing testing on this kernel, and while the patches still exist in this release it is a "legacy" vanilla kernel and we generally only support a single vanilla kernel at one time. Most of our customers use either the RHEL or SLES kernel, but working with newer kernels helps keep the Lustre code ready for changes coming down the pipes. Unfortunately, 2.6.24 is NOT that vanilla kernel, though we will likely begin work on this. The constantly shifting and undocumented changes in the kernel make updates a task in reverse engineering, and there isn''t a huge amount of demand for the latest vanilla kernels.> On Thu, May 15, 2008 at 02:03:19PM -0700, Andreas Dilger wrote: > > On May 15, 2008 18:13 +0200, Papp Tam?s wrote: > > > What is the expected date when v1.6.5 arrives? > > > > The 1.6.5 release is undergoing internal testing, and we hope to release > > it in the next couple of weeks, but this is subject to successful testing > > (or there is no point in doing the testing...).

Hello, Yesterday Red Hat released RHEL5U2 with OFED 1.3 support built in. Is there a plan to provide a Lustre patched kernel release of this, in coordination with Lustre 1.6.5, so that there is a prebuilt version of Lustre that would support OFED 1.3?

Don''t fear though, as long as the testing of it pans out, our 1.6.5 release will be made with OFED 1.3''s kernel-ib RPM and Lustre built with it. Interesting to note however in that Changelog we posted here:> > The lustre/ChangeLog reports: > > > > * version 1.6.5 > > * Support for kernels: > > 2.6.5-7.311 (SLES 9), > > 2.6.9-67.0.7.EL (RHEL 4), > > 2.6.16.54-0.2.5 (SLES 10), > > 2.6.22.14 vanilla (kernel.org) > > * Client support for unpatched kernels: > > (see http://wiki.lustre.org/index.php?title=Patchless_Client) > > 2.6.16 - 2.6.22 vanilla (kernel.org)We don''t list the RHEL5 kernel at all. I believe that is an omission. I will look into it. b. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The ChangeLog in 1.6.5rc4 is listing: * Support for kernels: 2.6.5-7.311 (SLES 9), 2.6.9-67.0.7.EL (RHEL 4), 2.6.16.54-0.2.5 (SLES 10), 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5 (RHEL 5), 2.6.22.14 vanilla (kernel.org) * Client support for unpatched kernels: (see http://wiki.lustre.org/index.php?title=Patchless_Client) 2.6.16 - 2.6.22 vanilla (kernel.org) Which as you can see, does include the RHEL5 kernel.
