[Lustre-discuss] Announce: Lustre 1.8.4 is available!

[Jay Lan]

Hi,

I generated v1_8_2 tag build area and v1_8_4 tag build area from
the git tree.

The kernel_patches/series/2.6-rhel5.series in both areas are identical,
and each patch listed in the series file are identical using 'diff'.

Isn't there any new lustre kernel patch against rhel5.5  committed
between these two releases? All patches were rolled into
kernel-2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 already?

Thanks,
Jay
