Hello again,

Well, I succesfully compiled lustre 1.8.1 for the unpathced CentOs kernel-xen 
2.6.18-164.el5xen and was able to mount lustre on the client, but I catched 
the error reported in bugzilla # 20020 (lustre_shrink_reply_v2 LBUG) so I 
can't do more tests till it's solved.

I can reproduce the bug easily and I'd like to test patches but the bug report 
is pretty messy and I can't figure which patches I need to apply.

If anyone is interested in pointing me to the correct set of patches I'll 
gladly test them.

Thank you,
