I have a REAL need to get involved with this. Do you have a beta test<BR>
program or can I join the development of Lustre and ZFS on solaris. I<BR>
am willing to do what is necessary to come up to speed and either work<BR>
directly or test this product.<BR>

I don't know what is your background with Lustre, but here are a few links to get you started:<BR>
<BR>
* Lustre operations manual: <A HREF="http://manual.lustre.org/index.php?title=Main_Page">http://manual.lustre.org/index.php?title=Main_Page</A><BR>
<BR>
* Lustre build instructions: <A HREF="http://wiki.lustre.org/index.php?title=BuildLustre">http://wiki.lustre.org/index.php?title=BuildLustre</A><BR>
<BR>
* Access instructions for the CVS repository: <A HREF="http://wiki.lustre.org/index.php?title=Open_CVS">http://wiki.lustre.org/index.php?title=Open_CVS</A><BR>
<BR>
* How to build/setup the userspace OSS (this is what you want the most): <A HREF="http://wiki.lustre.org/index.php?title=Lustre_OSS/MDS_with_ZFS_DMU">http://wiki.lustre.org/index.php?title=Lustre_OSS/MDS_with_ZFS_DMU</A><BR>
<BR>
Note that currently only the userspace OSS can be used in Solaris (and with ZFS).<BR>
Also note that when using the uOSS, you have to use an MDS compiled from the HEAD branch.<BR>
<BR>
Please let me know if you have any questions.<BR>
<BR>
Cheers,<BR>
