Lustre 2.0

This page offers resources for the Lustre 2.0/2.x release family. For the latest information on when Lustre 2.0 is expected to GA, see the Lustre Roadmap.

Lustre 2.0 Support Matrix
Lustre 2.0 will support the following Linux distributions and architectures.

Lustre Interoperability - 1.8 to 2.0
Lustre 2.0 will be built on an architectural code base which is different than the one used with prior releases. New 2.0 users will not be affected by these changes when installing Lustre. Initially, existing Lustre users will need to follow a slightly different procedure to upgrade to 2.0. See Upgrading from 1.8 to 2.0.

Lustre 2.0/2.x Features
Lustre 2.0 will introduce several significant new features and improved system functionality. This page previews these features and benefits offered by upgrading to Lustre 2.0, and also describes features targeted at later 2.x releases. See Lustre 2.0 Features
