I remember the system was stable until we tried to shut it down. It would lock up while |
| 12 |
shutting down, possibly while unmounting filesystems. I also did not get to do extensive |
| 13 |
testing of the system, so I don't know if it would have been stable under real use of the |
| 14 |
Lustre filesystem. |

I just used quilt when working with 1.4. I did not have an ebuild for that. |
