Very interesting work. I haven't had a chance to play with FUSE yet, but if it can work with Lustre it definitely must be pretty functional... Note that in 1.6 one of the major motivations for having a Lustre FUSE is going away - kernels 2.6.16 and beyond can run Lustre clients without any patches. While there is still some benefit to patching the kernel (improved performance for a few use cases, better diagnostics, etc) this is not required on the client. You do still need to compile Lustre modules against the currently installed kernel. It is still required to patch the kernel for Lustre servers to run.
