[lustre-devel] Gerrit option - build only one backend

[Andreas Dilger]

You could potentially include a change in your patch series to always disable ldiskfs building, probably in config/lustre-build-ldiskfs.m4. 

It would be best if that was a separate patch with a description like "osd-ldiskfs: permanently disable building" and tagged "forbuildonly" so that it cannot be landed. 

Cheers, Andreas
