Honestly, a big part of it is just plain old market sensitivity. Cfs is

Agreed.
Are you worrying about the kernel patching and other software installation

A longer term solution is to do some combination of remodularizing vfs and
recasting the lustre stuff so as to depend less on getting its fingers into
the guts. I once spent some time looking into that, and I do believe it's

Lustre uses a lot of kernel features that if not enabled will
cause the kernel to crash.

According to the person that I talked to at CFS, the beta is pretty much
finished, and they are waiting for tester feedback before releasing it

Sounds like a fine idea to me. :)
I talked to someone there at SC06, but they did not sound terribly open to

Hi Bryan,
I run a start up which provides Gentoo based clusters for a wide variety of
applications. I find it far simpler to maintain and run Gentoo, portage
simplifies maintenance so much.
The cluster will be a hyperwall, meaning that each node
will have graphics, forming a grid of displays

Sounds fascinating I do hope you will report how it goes and what method
you use to achieve
