The RHEL kernels also tend to be pretty old, so it's likely a fair bit of work. That said, the server stuff should all run fine on RHEL/CentOS. We are now doing builds on centos 6 as part of our continuous builds (ceph.com/gitbuilders.cgi), and the next release will include centos rpms (and hopefully Fedora). Looking forward, we'll be adding opensuse and sles rpms as well. sage -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
