If so, I should just delete the in-kernel version as it makes no sense
to keep both around...
Well, we cannot really drop our own tree since it also has the server code that is not
even in staging.
And the new development goes there. Also it's geared towards older kernels used in
popular distributions
in HPC, like RedHat 6's 2.6.32+
I guess the current situation is not ideal, but I am pretty sure you would not want to
accept
everything we have in that other tree into even staging anyway.
We also still need to find replacements for various debugging aids from our tree that were
helpfully
removed while in staging and learn how to properly use them.
The staging lustre client is fully functional, though. Currently I ensure it stays this
way,
but it's about to be added to our automatic test roster to stay that way.
Bye,
