* version 1.8.1
* Support for kernels:
- 2.6.5-7.315 (SLES 9),
- 2.6.9-67.0.22.EL (RHEL 4),
2.6.16.60-0.33 (SLES 10),
2.6.18-128.1.1.el5 (RHEL 5),
2.6.22.14 vanilla (kernel.org)
* Client support for unpatched kernels:
(see http://wiki.lustre.org/index.php?title=Patchless_Client)
2.6.16 - 2.6.22 vanilla (kernel.org)
- * Client support for unpatched kernels:
- we do not recommend using patchless RHEL4 clients with kernels
- prior to 2.6.9-55EL (RHEL4U5).
* Recommended e2fsprogs version: 1.40.11-sun1
- * Note that reiserfs quotas are disabled on SLES 10 in this kernel.
- * RHEL 4 and RHEL 5/SLES 10 clients behaves differently on 'cd' to a
- removed cwd "./" (refer to Bugzilla 14399).
- * A new quota file format has been introduced in 1.6.5.
- The format conversion from prior releases is handled transparently,
- but releases older than 1.4.12/1.6.5 don't understand this new
- format. The automatic format conversion can be avoided by running
- the following command on the MDS:
- 'tunefs.lustre --param="mdt.quota_type=ug1" $MDTDEV'.
- For more information, please refer to bugzilla 13904.
- * Output of lfs quota has been made less detailed by default,
- old (verbose) output can be obtained by using -v option.
* File join has been disabled in this release, refer to Bugzilla 16929.
* A new Lustre ADIO driver is available for MPICH2-1.0.7.
* NFS export disabled when stack size < 8192. Since the NFSv4 export
of Lustre filesystem with 4K stack may cause a stack overflow. For
more information, please refer to bugzilla 17630.

+Description: Caching OSS
+Details : introduce data caching on the OSS. The OSS now relies on the linux

+ It is worth noting that all write requests are still flushed
+ synchronously as in lustre 1.6.
