Yeah, it's gets more and more difficult to try to support the further one diverges from the "tested and known working set". Given that the servers are supposed to be dedicated, treated almost as "sealed server" systems, it really should not be difficult to run one of our packaged and supported releases (i.e. rhel5, sles10/11) on them. It would sure make your life easier. Then all you have to worry about on the "divergence" scale is clients and we are pretty loose about them given that we support patchless clients now. > Are there any "killer" options needed within the kernel which are crucial for > lustre+autofs ? There should not be. autofs is (supposed to be) nothing more than simply demand mounting. It really should not be any different than issuing a mount command at a root prompt. > Would it make any difference to only update a client ? It might. > Is it known if that is fixed in 1.8.x.x ?

In terms of autofs being your only issue, anyway. :-) b.
