We are trying to retire the few remaining servers. (Like 2) We have a lot of RHEL 6... I have been installing openafs on various distros in KVM vms order to test a script I wrote that depends on openafs to work. I'm doing this because I want it to be cross distro compatible. So this is kind of a rambling list. Don't know how useful it could be... RHEL 5/ CentOS 5, 2.6.18-409.el5. no problems compiling. RHEL 6 / CentOS 6, 2.6.32-573.22.1.el6.x86_64. no problems compiling. RHEL 7 / CentOS 7, 3.10.0-327.13.1.el7.x86_64. no problems compiling. Arch Linux openafs dkms package is broken ATM because of bleeding edge kernel. (4.5.1-1-ARCH) (openafs is in the AUR) gentoo updated the kernel recently, but I'm not sure that they added the required patches to openafs ebuild. So I did not compile it since I am quite timid on gentoo type stuff. (updated to linux-4.4.6-gentoo) So for me openafs is still working in the gentoo vm with an older kernel. Fedora 24 beta also does not compile the kernel module. I mentioned that before. I'm sure you guys are aware of it, etc. 4.5.1-300.fc24.x86_64. It doesn't come out until June. debian 8, 3.16.0-4-amd64. no problems installing from distro packages. Mint 17, 3.13.0-37-generic no problems installing from distro packages. ubuntu 14.04 LTS 3.16.0-56-generic no problems installing from distro packages. ubuntu 16.04 LTS 4.4.0-21-generic no problems installing from distro packages. I haven't gotten slackware 14.1 to work yet, but it has kernel 3.10.17-smp. So I think it you remove support for 2.6 it hurts mainly older RHEL/CentOS/Oracle Linux. (But that are still supported by Red Hat) Cheers,
