[Lustre-discuss] Announce: Lustre 1.6.5 is available!

[Charles Taylor]

FWIW, we grabbed these and are running them on an AMD 2356 platform  
box now (just a client).   We had tried 1.6.5 + CentOS 5.1 + OFED 1.3  
and the node was consistently crashing in the ko2iblnd module (no, I  
don't have the stack trace).   The RPMs seemed to just be the OFED  
1.3.1 RPMS which were useful and installed fine on our 5.1 node but we  
still had to build a lustre-patched kernel to match the modules and  
then re-build lustre against the whole thing (OFED 1.3.1 + patched  
kernel).   Is that what you intended?   I was hoping the kernel rpm  
might be in there too.  :)

So far it is working much better with the OFED 1.3.1 RPMs from Jeff.

Thanks,
