Hi, during the last week there have been quite a lot of bug reports to this list. Sorry, that I didn't participate in this discussion so far, we have been very busy here during the last two weeks.
In the mean time (actually rather fast of the release of lustre-1.6.1) we have ported it already to linux-2.6.20, but so far I didn't release it to public, because its not sufficiently stable. Well, it seems all the problems I see with with 2.6.20 also are in vanilla-lustre-1.6.1. I haven't analyzed it in detail yet, but I'm rather convinced that those problems are due to the new patchless and patched client functions. I hope to find time beginning on Tuesday to backport the lustre-1.6.0 patched client to lustre-1.6.1 to prove I'm right and more importantly to to have a stable lustre-1.6.1. I will also open new bugzilla entries, but not before Tuesday afternoon. I've a patched bonnie++ version here which will make it easy to reproduce some of these problems. I'm presently uploading a new lustre-1.6.0.1-ql-rc3 tar ball to http://www.pci.uni-heidelberg.de/tc/usr/bernd/downloads/lustre/1.6/ This at least supports linux-2.6.22 clients, but I'm sure that there's a bug in the 2.6.22 server part, so DO NOT use it for your servers. It shouldn't cause data corruption, but will cause a kernel oops rather soon on the OSS.
