<p>Dear Andreas,</p>
<p>thank you for the suggestion, I have signed up for an account for
the wiki and the mailing list.<br>
</p>
<p>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.<br>
Contributing directly myself is another option.<br>
</p>
<p>There is significant overlap across distribution releases with
specific details changing (kernel version numbers, the odd package
here and there, small name changes).<br>
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. <br>
</p>
<p>Kind regards<br>
Detlev</p>
<p></p>

Hi Detlev,
<div class="">thank you for taking the time to update the
documentation. This is valuable for many others in the
community.<br class="">
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Rather than put the updated instructions in your
personal GitHub repository, it would be better to update the
pages on the wiki (if the changes are minor), or create new
pages (if there are significant differences from the old
pages).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Having the updated pages will be much more visible
to other Lustre users in the future. There is a Lustre
Documentation Working Group that is just in the process of
updating pages on the wiki, and would welcome your
contribution. You can register for an account directly on the
wiki.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">For more information about the DWG, please see:</div>

Dear Mailing List Members,<br class="">
<br class="">
we use a lustre file server internally and were
looking to set up a test<br class="">
environment where we can experiment.<br class="">
As lustre server rpms are not available for all Linux
operating systems,<br class="">
I have spent some time adapting the existing
instructions (for Rocky 8.7<br class="">
from <a
href="https://wiki.whamcloud.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=258179277"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext" moz-do-not-send="true">
https://wiki.whamcloud.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=258179277</a> )<br
class="">
to Rocky 8.10 as well as Rocky 9.4.<br class="">
<br class="">
These have been made available in a github repository
and I though that<br class="">
my experiences/observations may be of interest to
provide a tutorial for<br class="">
the more recent Rocky Updates on the wiki.<br class="">
The text is available here:<br class="">
