Minutes
2.9 Release Status/Update

Peter


 * Things are going well in our testing. Everything that were tracked as must fix for the release have all been landed at this point.  We should be able to tag for a release candidate soon.
 * James: We have one patch left that we would really like to see landed.  Would it be possible for Intel to review it?  It is a patch tracked under LU-8700.
 * Has anyone in the community been doing any testing?
 * James: We have tested on our test system of 80 nodes and it looks good.  We are considering potentially moving to 2.9 for our production system.
 * Andreas: Ken, from your point of view, is everything for SSK landed and working ok?
 * Ken: To my knowledge, yes, that is correct.
 * James: Nathan Lavender has emailed looking for a mixed-endian environment to test in, but James does not have access to that type of environment.

2.10 Release Update

Peter


 * Nothing to address at this time.

Upstream Lustre Client

James


 * The patch for the view time workaround in HSM was rejected by Greg.
 * We are rapidly approaching a point where master and upstream will be in sync. James is working on cleansing the 2.8 patches and is getting close to being able to submit them.
 * Peter: What else will be left to clean up after it is in sync?
 * James: User API stuff will still need work and will need to be addressed.  We can ask them to have a look at the code again once we get to the point where we are synced to see what else may need to be done.

lustre.org

Ken


 * We are getting close on the wiki server upgrade. Recently, we have been dealing with extension issues.
 * We are also in the home stretch of the accelerated wiki migration. As this completes, we will be able to get back to focusing on content again.

Other Business


 * Peter: Is there anything else to add regarding the BOF that was discussed last time?  Will anyone be able to attend in person?
 * Andreas, Peter, Ken responded as attending.
