Hello, I am trying to install Lustre 1.8.2 OSS/MDS on RHEL5.4 system, but i want
to keep existing Lustre client(1.8.1) on SLES10.
Can those two systems interoperate with each other (different OS)?
Thanks
Eric

Why not use the latest and greatest, 1.8.5 and get yourself some bug fixes? b.

[Lustre-discuss] Question on versions, who is going to support what, etc.
Hi Folks
We seem to have some choices about which versions to work with. The
1.8.5 release is the latest rev of the 1.8.x branch, and then there is
the 2.x branch.
What is the preferred direction for most users and supporters of
Lustre? That is, will Oracle, OpenSFS, etc. others be focusing upon the
2.x branches going forward with the 1.8.x being a terminal branch, or
will the two branches co-exist in parallel for a while with support for
both from the community?
If this is a FAQ, and there is a pointer to the answer, by all means,
please point me to it.
We are trying to get our collective heads around what the current and
future support will look like in the community for Lustre. I''ve seen
some slide decks that suggest future directions, but are somewhat
unspecific about which versions will be used as a base for these
developments. I could guess, but I''d like to hear from others as to
the
intentions.
Thanks!
Joe

The 1.8 branch is in "maintenance mode" and will only be getting bug fixes. All new development is being done on the 2.x branch. We are finalizing the patches being landed on the Git master branch in anticipation of the upcoming 2.1 release, so testing and feedback of this branch is very welcome at this stage. A few mature "feature" patches are still being considered, but at this stage it is largely bug fixing only until the 2.1 branch is released. There are weekly build tags being created, that are suitable for external testing. My understanding is that build 8 (v2_0_58_0, IIRC) performed quite well, and a performance regression is being investigated in build 9 (v2_0_59_0).

We are doing RPM builds from clones of the git trees now. I wanted to understand where 1.8.x was headed, and see if we should have multiple build processes going on. I presume the OpenSFS and other folks are also converged around 2.x? Hopefully?

Hi, Joe. Yes, OpenSFS will be converging on 2.x for future development as well. However, OpenSFS may choose to provide support for 1.8.x releases for some time. As OpenSFS is just getting started, much of the details are yet to be decided.

We''re also building rpms for both 1.8 and 2.x on our Hudson server here: http://build.whamcloud.com/ cheers, robert> > Regards > > Joe > > > -- > Joseph Landman, Ph.D > Founder and CEO > Scalable Informatics Inc. > email: landman at scalableinformatics.com > web : http://scalableinformatics.com > http://scalableinformatics.com/sicluster > phone: +1 734 786 8423 x121 > fax : +1 866 888 3112 > cell : +1 734 612 4615 > _______________________________________________ > Lustre-discuss mailing list > Lustre-discuss at lists.lustre.org > http://lists.lustre.org/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss
