[Lustre-devel] Question of transplanting Lustre to a non-x86 arch

[Light&ColoR]

Wow! BTW, how did you make it?  Actually I wanna use Lustre on MIPS. Taking a quicklook at Lustre sources, I just find less than 100 lines  architecture-sepcific asm codes( maybe more).   It's should not be hard to transplant Lustre.......
