[Lustre-discuss] Lustre Kernel patches

[Aaron Knister]

Lustre only needs a custom kernel on the OSS and MDS nodes. The rest  
of the clients can run patchless (assuming they're > 2.6.15 i think).  
See this article- http://wiki.lustre.org/index.php?title=Patchless_Client 
. It is a bit of a hassle to distribute a custom kernel, but it's  
pretty  minor work especially given the performance benefits of lustre.
