The Lustre Filesystem Operations Manual is an important resource for the Lustre Community for both new and experienced Lustre users to find out more information about how to use and maintain a Lustre filesystem. Unfortunately, while there are ongoing efforts to improve the manual over the past few years it has not had the full-time care and attention that it really needs to be kept up-to-date. Some sections of the manual were written many years ago and need updates to the technical content (e.g. updated examples and/or output from commands), others need to be expanded with more detail. Unlike in years past, the Lustre 2.x manual XML sources have been open for direct user contributions through the Intel Git/Gerrit repository (the same one used for managing the Lustre 2.x code) at git://git.whamcloud.com/doc/manual. If you want to contribute to the Lustre Community, but are not interested in writing Lustre code, this is an opportunity for you. If you have ever used the Lustre manual, but found a problem with it or wanted to improve it, this is relatively easy to do. Known issues and improvements to the manual (both in progress, or looking for contributors) can be found at: https://jira.hpdd.intel.com/browse/LUDOC Details on how to contribute to the manual are available at: https://wiki.hpdd.intel.com/display/PUB/Making+changes+to+the+Lustre+Manual Thank you for your consideration and contributions.
