For Peter: We also echo the LTS issue. We are using primarily 2.15.x, with 2.16.1 at a smaller part of our production. 2.17.x is used as part of our test environment, because we are encountering issues with 2.16.1 . For RHEL 10.x, we would like to know what
would be the LTS Lustre release. </div>

You need RHEL 9.8 to get a kernel that fixes all the known root escalation security issues. So I agree that we are in a bit of a limbo until an RHEL 9.8 LTS version of Lustre is ready. However, I think Alma did a special security kernel for RHEL 9.7. I know
Rocky did.<br>

<div style="direction: ltr;">Hi Peter,</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">For the EL 10.1 client I was using version 17.0 which was the only version to support EL 10. After upgrading to EL 10.2 the client lost the storage mount.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">I'm not updating the EL9.7 clients, not to risk losing the storage mount. They are running the 2.15 LTS Lustre.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">On the servers I am still using the 2.15 version on EL 8.10 as I prefer to use the LTS version, and there is no LTS server support beyond EL 8.10.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">This complex matrix just emphasizes how much Lustre is a restrictive factor for upgrades.</div>

Could you please elaborate as to what you feel is missing today? Lustre clients are patchless, so I would expect that if a security update is issued for a given supported release of RHEL that users would just apply the kernel update and weak updates would take
care of the rest with no need to get any updates to Lustre...</div>
