FUSE also runs on MacOSX... which is my major motivation for this work.

If I could get liblustre to compile on macosx, then that would be
fantastic :) It certainly looks like it should be possible. FUSE
also runs on BSD systems...

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.
Cheers, Andreas
