Thanks Joel! I'm looking at the kernel config right now. Is it dangerous to change some of the kernel config options? Are there specific options that the lustre patches depend on? For example, since I'll be running this on a box with interactive graphics, I'd like to change the Preemption Model to "Preemptible Kernel".
