[Lustre-discuss] FW: [HPDD-discuss] Time to kill off some old LND driver

[Dilger, Andreas]

Forwarding this to lustre-discuss and the mxlnd author to reach the
maximum audience.

I definitely think qswlnd is beyond its useful lifetime (Quadrics is out
of business since 2009, so any systems using it are at least 5 years old),
and I believe ralnd is the same boat (it was only used for much older Cray
systems).  No idea if anyone is still using mxlnd?
