[Lustre-discuss] Lustre 2.1 Release

[Diego Moreno]

Hi Peter,

That's great news! It's really interesting to know about the Lustre 2.1 
release with all the community involved in it.

I imagine it's still too soon but is there any roadmap or any date for 
the end of development and testing?

Is there any features list or it's still to be defined in the mailing list?

Regards,

Diego
