Obviously there is no RH-6.0 just yet (at least not beta or release) and as such 2.6.32 is not on the supported kernels list - obviously fair enough. There are bugzilla entries with patches for 2.6.32 but these all apply to HEAD as opposed to the b1_8 branch. Particularly all the stuff that applied against libcfs/blah/blah.m4 I''m trying to build an up-to-date patchless 1.8 client for Fedora 12 (2.6.32) and given a few hours to mash patches from HEAD into b1_8, it''s doable, albeit hacky (I''m not a programmer) whereas I can compile HEAD almost without modification. Is it the intention to backport these various changes into b1_8 or is that more or less as-is now until the release of 2.0? We''re in a bit of an awkward place since we can''t compile 1.6.7.2 on 2.6.32 and 2.0 is still not in a production state. I''d certainly offer to help with the backporting, but if you saw the quality of the patch mashing I do, I doubt you''d want them :-) -- Stephen Willey Senior Systems Engineer Framestore 19-23 Wells Street, London W1T 3PQ +44 207 344 8000 www.framestore.com

Hi, is there any chance to get a 1.8.4 compiled on a 2.6.32+ kernel right now with the standard Lustre sources that are available through the download pages? The "build your own kernel" wiki page points to a collection of supported kernels http://downloads.lustre.org/public/kernels/sles11/ which has a 2.6.32 in it but I could not find a working set of patches for this. Has anyone been more successful?

Server-side support should come with 1.8.5 since it will support SLES11 SP1 which is based on 2.6.32. That being said, even for client-side support, i would recommend to wait until 1.8.5 since some important bugs (e.g. 23118) related to newer kernel support have been fixed recently. HTH Cheers, Johann
