One thing to watch out for in your kernel configs is to make sure that:
CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES=N
otherwise you will run into:
https://bugzilla.lustre.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21439
(each write call causes 2 getxattr calls, which will pound your MDS into
the ground).
The SLES11, debian/lenny and ubuntu kernels all have this feature set,
so if you are building clients against those kernels, you may be in
trouble.
Cheers,
Guy
