[Lustre-discuss] [Fwd: Is IBRIX supported under Solaris 10]

[Joe Georger]

We have an Ibrix system and it only runs on RHEL.  As a matter of fact, 
their client software only ran on RHEL until we twisted their arm for a 
SLES10 port (they refused to do 9).  That only took about 6 months!  Am 
I happy with Ibrix?  What mailing list am I reading?

Oh, treat any claims of their feature support with suspicion.  Such as 
individual file replication.
