[lustre-devel] [EXTERNAL] mke2fs supported features: dirdata

[Else Someone]

Hi, thanks all, it was sloppy of me to miss this section in the manual. 
I'll keep this note brief: my current progress is that I reproduced, for 
the most part, the 3-node KVM set-up from the wiki using declarative 
"nixos tests". I'm currently not applying `lustre/kernel_patches`, not 
sure what are the implications. Hope to follow up with public code soon.


Cheers
