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

[Atchley, Scott]

Hi Andreas,

I do not know if anyone is still using mxlnd or not.

I do not know if anyone at Myricom will provide support for it. Also, I am not sure if the MX kernel API is still fully maintained. I have CC'd help at mryi.com in case they wish to comment.
