[Lustre-discuss] Future of lustre 1.8.3+

[Ramiro Alba Queipo]

Hi Bernd,

Sorry if I insist on this issue or if my questions may seem simple, but
just to clarify:

- Is this an issue that affects every client, both patchless clients and
not patchless or only those clients with SLES11 servers.?

- May I apply the above patch to build modules that will be used both
and servers and clients? (I usually do: no patchless kernel for clients
but the same as servers)

Regards
