[lustre-discuss] CentOS Stream 8/9 support?

[Will Furnass]

Hi,

I imagine that many here might have seen RedHat's announcement
yesterday about ceasing to provide sources for EL8 and EL9 to those
who aren't paying customers (see [1] - CentOS 7 unaffected).  For many
HPC sites using or planning to adopt Alma/Rocky 8/9 this prompts a
change of tack:
 - buy RHEL 8/9
 - switch to CentOS 8/9 Stream for something EL-like
 - switch to something else (SUSE or Ubuntu)

Those wanting to stick with EL-like will be interested in how well
Lustre works with Stream 8/9.  Seems it's not in the support matrix
[2].  Have others here used Lustre with Stream successfully?  If so,
anything folks would care to share about gotchas if encountered?  Did
you used patched or unpatched kernels?
