Issue Links

• Trackbacks: Lustre 1.8.x known issues tracker While testing against Lustre b18 branch, we would hit known bugs which were already reported in Lustre Bugzilla https://bugzilla.lustre.org/. In order to move away from relying on Bugzilla, we would create a JIRA

If we do end up adding RHEL6.2 support for 1.8.x it will be tracked under a ticket for a more current RHEL6.2 kernel update

Could this issue be reopened? While RHEL 6.2 support for Lustre 2.x appears to be progressing, there still has not been an updated release for 1.8.x.

RHEL6.2 work will trace in LU-781.

Many thanks for the URL. I have working on FC15 support, it also help RhEL6.2 work. And i'll switch to work on rhel6.2 support shortly.

Any ETA on a patch for this? There is already a RHEL6.2 kernel release which will be the base for the next security update. It wouldn't be nice if we had to disable lustre after the next update. You can get a binary package of the latest kernel vom Scientific Linux:
