Can the ldiskfs support Linux kernel 4.1.38 or later versions?</p> Linux kernel 4.1.38+ LU-9240

Can the ldiskfs support Linux kernel 4.1.38+?

If you are interested to do so, that would be welcome.</p> <p>Alternately, you can use ZFS for the back-end disk storage, since that doesn't require any kernel/ext4 patching at all.</p> <p>Actually since we have SLES12SP2 support a port of ldiskfs to a 4.4 kernel exist. Try that.</p> <p>Hi Dilger,<br/> Thank your for your great information. And since I am an newbie of the Lustre, can you tell me how to set the Lustre to use ZFS instead of the ldiskfs ?</p> <p>Hi Simmons,<br/> In the version 2.9 Lustre, there is only server source codes for SLES12SP1.Where can I find the SLES12SP2 support? </p> <p>Hi Dilger,<br/> I have found some description about run Lustre on the ZFS as the back fs : <a href="http://wiki.lustre.org/Lustre_with_ZFS_Install" class="external-link" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">http://wiki.lustre.org/Lustre_with_ZFS_Install</a><br/> It seems that this is the way using ZFS instead of ldiskfs.
