Lustre discuss - Apr 2010 - Announce: Lustre 1.8.3 is available!

Hi all,

Lustre 1.8.3 is available on the Sun Download Center Site.

http://www.sun.com/software/products/lustre/get.jsp

Our forwarding link has not yet been updated but should be
shortly, so you can either find your way in through:
http://www.sun.com/downloads/index.jsp?tab=2#L
and look for Lustre 1.8.3 near the bottom of the "L" section.
     or
https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_SMI-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=LUSTRE-183-G-F
at CDS-CDS_SMI

The change log and release notes can be read here:

http://wiki.lustre.org/index.php/Use:Change_Log_1.8

*PLEASE NOTE:* Some ChangeLog entries were added after
v1_8_3_RC1 was tagged.  The missing entries are included in
the wiki change log link above.

Here are some items that may interest you in this release:

* Fix MDS crash when using open-unlinked directories. This
problem was a regression introduced in 1.8.2.
https://bugzilla.lustre.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22177

* The lustre client uses current->journal_info to pass
locking information down to lower layers. This can trigger
a kernel oops under memory pressure.
https://bugzilla.lustre.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22035

* Some "lfs" commands can now be run as a non-privileged
user again.
https://bugzilla.lustre.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22127

* The 1.8.2 client can sometimes try to reconnect too
aggressively, flooding the server with CONNECT requests.
Reconnects are now rate limited.
https://bugzilla.lustre.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22423

* RHEL5.4 kernel update
Kernel update to OEL5.4 2.6.16-164.11.1.0.1.el5
Kernel update to RHEL5.4 2.6.16-164.11.1.el5
https://bugzilla.lustre.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21632


As always, you can report issues via Bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.lustre.org/

Our next anticipated release is Lustre 1.8.4 in late July 2010.

To access earlier releases of Lustre, please check the box
"See previous products*(P)*", then click "L" or scroll down
to
"Lustre", the current and all previous releases (1.6.6 - 1.8.3)
will be displayed.

Happy downloading!

For the archive records, the actual kernel update is to 2.6.18-.... , not
2.6.16 . The bugzilla entry is correct.

Thanks for the new release!

what is the status of merging the code into the lInux mainline kernel?
or even have the client into the kernel tree?
