<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi there,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">For a new production system, we downloaded
Lustre 1.6.7 a couple weeks ago and have installed and configured it. I
just read this warning:</font>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>>A bug has been identified in 1.6.7 that can cause
directory corruptions <br>
>on the MDT. A patch and full details are in bug 18695 - <br>
>https://bugzilla.lustre.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18695<br>
<br>
>We recommend to anyone running 1.6.7 on the MDS to unmount the MDT,
run <br>
>e2fsck against the MDT device and apply the patch from bug 18695 as
soon <br>
>as possible.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I've visited this page, but am uncertain
as to how to "apply the patch" (does it require compiling?).
Are there any instructions available, or perhaps someone could point
me to a FAQ?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Cheers and thanks,<br>
