Hiya

Thanks for this.

Will definitely look into it.

Dont like this statement about supported kernels though:

"Lustre servers require a number of patches to the core Linux kernel, 
mostly to export new functions, add features
 to ext3, and add a new locking path to the VFS. This package provides 
these patches for kernel versions 2.6.18,
 2.6.21 and 2.6.22 on i386, amd64, powerpc and ia64 architectures."

Thanks again
