Ken


 * We are in the process of a security review and will report back on it to this forum.
 * OpenSFS is planning to do a press release on 2.10.1. Aside from RHEL7.4/ZFS0.7.1, are there other dependencies to mention in the release?  Also we need a changelog.  Who would create that?
 * Joe creates the changelog for the community releases and will create one just ahead of 2.10.1 GA. It will be posted to the same location as the other community changelogs.
 * Any further feedback on the usage of the openSFS test cluster? Any further info?
 * Andreas: No change on our side
 * Ken: It seems pretty clear that there are no known uses of it, please let us know if anyone finds otherwise.
 * Ken: Are there any worries of needing to wipe the data on the drives?
 * Andreas: LU is open source and IML is open source, so no issues there

Other Business


 * Ken: LDLM/LNet internals front:  Have there been core architectural changes here since 2.0?
 * Andreas: MR is the major change on LNet architecture front; the other significant change would be dynamic lnet config to configure on the fly instead of via module parameters; LDLM hasn’t had to significant of change for a long time.  Lockahead would be of interest, so would lock conversion with DoM.

Next meeting will be on 2017-10-05 at 11:00am Pacific
