[Lustre-discuss] Lustre 1.6.2 + 2.6.18 - Directory index full!

[Kevin Fox]

How do you plan on mixing ZFS and Lustre code though? I thought CDDL
code and GPL code were incompatible (That's why its not crammed into the
kernel proper). Are you looking at having separate processes between the
ZFS code and Lustre or are you going to re-license Lustre? Either one
seems bad...
