I found out that not all required patches for ldiskfs are applied. I will try to do this tomorrow more carefully.
I understand that 1.5.95 is not ready for 2.6.18 without the additional patches provided from this list. But it would realy be nice if 2.6.18 will be fully supported in the near future. Now I hope that I can do the final step to get lustre 1.5.95 running. Thanks Harald On Tuesday 02 January 2007 11:52 pm, Nathaniel Rutman wrote: > It's under development.
