[Lustre-discuss] Help! Newbie trying to set up Lustre network

[Christian Becker]

Hi Yang,

on SLES11 I get this message, if the loading of unsupported modules is 
disabled (default for SLES11). To enable the loading of such modules you 
have to set the value of allow_unsupported_modules to 1 in 
/etc/modprobe.d/unsupported-modules

Maybe Novell has added this "feature" to later versions of SLES 10? I 
suppose you are using service pack 3?

best regards,
Christian
