Some of our other customers are also interested in porting to FC12 as  
a stepping stone to RHEL6.  We are getting closer on the client side,  
but the server still needs work.  If anyone is interested to port the  
server code, then I'd be interested to hear, because I'd prefer to  
spend any development effort to remove the server patches entirely.   
Instead of reworking the patches yet again, this needs some effort in  
the Lustre and ldiskfs code to allow it to use newer kernel APIs and  
then (hopefully) we'll never need to patch for Lustre again.

The 2.6.27 support (both client and server) should be in 1.8.1.1  
AFAIK, because it runs on SLES11.
