I will do some testing and yes we would really like it to work. Lustre is an awesome cluster filesystem that combined with the vserver software would have cool functionality. basically we cluster the vservers directory between a high end data server and have multiple front ends so that if any of the systems crash we can bring the vservers on that front end up within a couple of minutes of being down. I will try 2.6.12, but where do I get vs2-rc4? and will it possibily work with 2.6.11.11 kernel? Thanks,
