[Lustre-discuss] Support for vanilla kernels in lustre servers

[Ramiro Alba Queipo]

Hello everybody,

I am using (now testing) lustre-1.8.0.1 with vanilla kernel 2.6.22.14 on
Ubuntu 8.04 (originally with 2.6.24 kernel), and starting from
lustre-1.8.1, I can not see support for vanilla kernels:

2009-07-31 Sun Microsystems, Inc.
        * version 1.8.1
        * Support for kernels:
         2.6.16.60-0.39.3 (SLES 10),
         2.6.27.23-0.1 (SLES11, i686 & x84_64 only),
         2.6.18-128.1.14.el5 (RHEL 5),
        * Client support for unpatched kernels:
          (see http://wiki.lustre.org/index.php?title=Patchless_Client)
          2.6.16 - 2.6.27 vanilla (kernel.org)
        * Recommended e2fsprogs version: 1.41.6.sun1
        * File join has been disabled in this release, refer to Bugzilla
16929.
        * NFS export disabled when stack size < 8192. Since the NFSv4
export
          of Lustre filesystem with 4K stack may cause a stack overflow.
For
          more information, please refer to bugzilla 17630.
        * ext4 support for RHEL5 is experimental and thus should not be
          used in production.


Does that means that vanilla kernel support for lustre servers is over?
