If you do not stick to the 1.8 release for lustre clients you can backport the 1.6.7-2 lustre packages ship with sid. The patchless client works well with the stock kernel of lenny and should be compatible to 1.8 servers.
But since I have to build a new Lustre server kernel in the near future and I would prefer to go for the 2.6.27 kernel, which is supported by lustre 1.8.1, I wonder where one can get the source of sles11 kernel, which will be supported officially. Will there be support for vanilla kernel as well? Is there any time estimation for the 1.8.1 release?
