Hi, when trying to update clients from 2.9 to 2.10.0 (on CentOS-7) I received the following: "Package lustre-client is obsoleted by lustre, trying to install lustre-2.10.0-1.el7.x86_64 instead" and then the update failed (to my guessing due to the fact that zfs-related packages are

Regarding clients and OSS on same physical server. Seems to me the problem is not (directly) related to the amount of memory on the machine, but instead to different applications "competing" for the memory? Could this possibly be resolved by running lustre in a virtual machine? Or would there
