[Lustre-discuss] Centos 5 with Lustre

[jrs]

Greetings,

(This my second try at getting this post to the list;
hope this one goes through ;-)

Next week I'll start installation of our test lustre
cluster.  If everything goes well it will eventually
hold all our data (we have about 350 TB).

Would it be unwise to use Centos rather than RHEL?

In my pre-tests (running with vmware) it seems to
run fine with CentOS 5.

Management, however, is concerned.  Do they have
reason to be?

thanks much,
JR
