[Lustre-discuss] Fail in building lustre module

[Cory Spitz]

Right, Lustre won't currently build for kernels much beyond 2.6.32, but 
we're (the community) is working on it.  You may have better luck with 
patchless clients on late 2.6 kernels, but in 3.0 you'll definitely need 
to wait for support.  Feel free to contribute on your own ;)

Do you just need to build clients or servers too?
