Hi, I am currently working on setting up a lustre repository for my cluster. While it is not an issue to configure the OSSes to use one of the supported lustre kernels, I am a little reluctant ( for technical reasons) to go back for the cluster nodes to linux-2.6.22. They are currently running 2.6.25. My question is now, has anybody tried to compile a patchless client for 2.6.25? And, more specifically, the lustre-wiki page states that "...the majority of the ext3 changes have been incorporated into ext4 in the 2.6.25 kernel." Is there a way to take advantage of that for creating patchless clients? Thanks for your help Edgar
