You need to reconfigure/recompile ZFS in the new kernel. 7.4 added a macro for bio_set_op_attrs and it's conflicting with a definition in blkdev_compat.h because your source tree still thinks HAVE_BIO_SET_OP_ATTRS = 0 ? Well, I have been able to build for the 7.3 and updates kernels, but I hav

Well, I have been able to build for the 7.3 and updates kernels, but I have yet to succeed in building against any 3.10.693.* kernel. I can update everything except the kernel and still build it. I, for one, would love some feedback about what needs changed to build with the latest kernel. I g

Thanks Malcom. Those LU's validate my concerns about replace_nids updating the failover information properly – we'll schedule an outage and use the tunefs.lustre method. Very helpful reference. From: lustre-discuss on behalf of "Cowe, Malcolm J" Date: Sunday, January 7, 2018 at 7:23 PM To:

Note though that since the servers live in kernel space they are also going to be affected only minimally. The Lustre server code itself will see zero effect, since it’s entirely kernel code. Other things running on those servers may see impact, and if there’s enough user space stuff, increase

Ok, We did some tests with the new lustre clients(no patch on servers) I can confirm like Marek: maximum downgrade is about 40% by rsync with small files, lfs find on large folders 45% performance penalty:( We found terrible performance on the test system with zfs+compression+lustre.

Thanks for the feedback, Riccardo. I understand not all versions are certified compatible but knowing that some folks have had success helps build some confidence. I tried building 2.8.0, the latest from the 2.8 branch, the latest from the 2.9 branch, 2.10.2, and the latest from master (2.10.
