They are going to be OS agnostic on the client side when 1.6 comes out, because of the "patchless client", i.e. the kernel on the client side does not need to be patched. On the server side, what is missing is a patched gentoo-sources or vanilla-sources kernel. But we know that there is a lustre-kernel ebuild out there. Depending on the issues involved, getting them to support Gentoo may just be a matter of getting them to support the lustre-kernel package. -bryan -- gentoo-cluster@gentoo.org mailing list
