Lustre discuss - May 2009 - OFED 1.4 Support

Hi,

Does anyone know the timeframe for OFED 1.4.x support?  Will it be
supported on the Lustre 1.6 branch, or only on the Lustre 1.8 branch?


Will there be any more releases on the 1.6 branch?

 

Thanks.

 

-Roger

Shortly after the OFA releases 1.4.1.  We are waiting for them.

No.

Yes.

1.6.7.2 has just been cut and on it''s way to QA.  Give that we will be
supporting 1.6 for another year at least, it''s entirely possible that
there will be future 1.6 releases.  But features are now going into 1.8
and 1.6 is sliding into maintenance mode so if you want new features,
you will have to upgrade to 1.8.
