I remember the system was stable until we tried to shut it down. It would lock up while shutting down, possibly while unmounting filesystems. I also did not get to do extensive testing of the system, so I don't know if it would have been stable under real use of the Lustre filesystem. > I also tried to make a custom kernel for > lustre 1.4, but ultimately hit too many roadblocks.

I did not have an ebuild for that. -bryan -- [email protected] mailing list
