Patch Set 1: I would prefer that you didn't submit this

This patch looks obsolete since there are already number of patches which cover this issue:

http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,3722 http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,3202 http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,3203 http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,3725 http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,3727

So close this bug.

James, like you correctly mention, that change is only needed for 2.3 interop which is not the case here, so there is no rush to get it included, esp. since there is no official 2.3 release and won't be for some time.

You can get RPMs here: http://build.whamcloud.com/job/lustre-reviews/7975/arch=x86_64,build_type=server,distro=el6,ib_stack=inkernel/artifact/artifacts/RPMS/

Don't forget the patch for http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,3008 as well since it is need to 2.3 <-> 2.2 interop testing,

Could you provide us patched rpms?

Thanks in advance

flocks are only taken on MDS, so updating just MDS is fine.
