For David: For RHEL 10.2, there are patches (including one suggestion from
me) as part of LU 20312: https://jira.whamcloud.com/browse/LU-20312

We are of course in the process of testing this.

For Peter: We also echo the LTS issue. We are using primarily 2.15.x, with
2.16.1 at a smaller part of our production. 2.17.x is used as part of our
test environment, because we are encountering issues with 2.16.1 . For RHEL
10.x, we would like to know what would be the LTS Lustre release.

Best regards,
GM
