I wonder... They are going to be OS agnostic on the client side when 1.6 |
| 20 |
comes out, because of the "patchless client", i.e. the kernel on the client |
| 21 |
side does not need to be patched. |
| 22 |
On the server side, what is missing is a patched gentoo-sources or |
| 23 |
vanilla-sources kernel. But we know that there is a lustre-kernel ebuild |
| 24 |
out there. Depending on the issues involved, getting them to support Gentoo |
| 25 |
may just be a matter of getting them to support the lustre-kernel package. |
