Thanks Rick! Perhaps just having someone confident in navigating this kind of thing like yourself posting the steps that they have followed to the mailing list would be a public service that would bridge this gap for those less comfortable?</div>

<div class="PlainText" style="font-size: 11pt;">If you need RHEL 9.8 support for Lustre 2.15, you might want to look at
<a href="https://jira.whamcloud.com/browse/LU-20071" data-outlook-id="7fe0eba3-8138-499c-9569-76df14e210d8">
https://jira.whamcloud.com/browse/LU-20071</a>. In particular, there is a proposed patch under review (<a href="https://review.whamcloud.com/c/fs/lustre-release/+/65797" data-outlook-id="693ce7ea-910b-4bf3-976f-8e1ed8d62bbb">https://review.whamcloud.com/c/fs/lustre-release/+/65797</a>).
It's a relatively small change and you should be able to apply it (possibly with some modification) without too much difficulty. The patch is based on the b2_15. I recently had to rebuild an older version of lustre 2.15 for RHEL 9.8 support, and I was able
to modify this patch to do the job.<br>

Thanks for the information. It would be really helpful if there was a clearly described way of how to construct lustre client rpms with the patches for a newer RHEL version. That would indeed allow us to switch to a more recent kernel if security issues require
this.<br>
Is that documentation available somewhere? As far as I can see the RHEL 9.8 patches have not been merged into the b2_15 branch. Does a 2.15.9 RC branch exist somewhere?<br>
