[lustre-discuss] lustre server build instructions for Rocky 8.10 & 9.4

[Detlev Conrad Mielczarek]

Dear Andreas,

thank you for the suggestion, I have signed up for an account for the 
wiki and the mailing list.

I agree that adding updates to the wiki would be even better, hence my 
email to the lustre discussion mailing list. My intention was for it to 
be picked up by those in charge of the wiki - while in parallel ensuring 
that the information is available and wont get lost in the meantime.
Contributing directly myself is another option.

There is significant overlap across distribution releases with specific 
details changing (kernel version numbers, the odd package here and 
there, small name changes).
How to best present and organise this so that it is scalable is actually 
quite a tricky question. Right now I have take then approach of two 
nearly identical markdown files with appropriate adaptions, however this 
doesn't scale well in the long term.

Kind regards
Detlev
