For client, there is no > need to patch other parts out side of fs/lustre and net/lnet. The Lustre server is in kernel? Are there plans to mainline that? [SF] There is an open source Linux server that is supported by latest kernels that can be installed on any Linux server and can be used for testing at: http://git.whamcloud.com/?p=fs/lustre-release.git;a=summary. At this time we didn't look at mainline the server but if there is interest we can consider this option in the OpenSFS community. [SF] BTW this reference could be useful: http://cloudscale.com/index.php/technology/lustre-on-aws-cloud to build a test bench for Lustre server. If not, what does someone need to get to test the client? --b. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
